Ah yes; in retrospect, I perhaps should have filed this directly
against jdupes myself (or found the existing bug). Thank you for doing
that.

I tested the patch, yes; does it not work for you? The difference
between architectures could simply be a difference in the
reproducibility variations applied on that particular architecture. Or
the differences could be merely an example of the nondeterminism
itself.

Sure, if you think it might help.
