I think at this precision the difference may be in random bits. Probably
you don't need to worry about it.

"random bits"? I am fully aware that these low order bits are numerical
fuzz and are meaningless from a practical perspective. I am only
concerned because I thought these bits are supposed to be deterministic
even if they're meaningless. Now that I've ruled out a bug in
std.parallelism, I'm wondering if it's a bug in druntime or DMD.

I seem to remember that essentially some of the last bits printed in such a result are essentially arbitrary. I forgot what could cause this.
