Look for any of these:

* Uninitialised variables being used as input;
* Uninitialised pointers being used;
  (These two are a common source of inconsistent results from one run to
   the next, and of crashes, hangs, GPFs, and SIGSEGV.
* Array subscripts out of range; these may go into uninitialised memory.
* Strings without enough room for the ending null, or strings being put
into a buffer too small for them and reaching into uninitialised memory.
* Floating point calculations that go out of range. Different
  computers/OSes may handle it differently, and so might the presence of an
  FPU or its absence.
