different results on Windows and Linux

[Gkreindler]

I am preparing a replication package for an academic publication and found an issue that my code would give different results on Windows and Unix server. I tracked it down to using Loess. I don't have time now to prepare a MWE but wanted to share the info here in case it's useful.

On both machines, I was using

• Julia 1.9.2.
• package version ⌃ [4345ca2d] Loess v0.6.1 (I realize that this may not be the latest)
• I was setting Random.seed!(123) some time before LOESS

In my case, I replaced the loess code with the function from here, which solved my problem.

Would be useful to know if this still happens with the latest version. My guess it that it does. We'd need a reproducer to make progress here, though.
