Yehuda,
Could you confirm that, starting from a brand new Mathematica session
(that is fresh kernel, no additional packages, and no Dynamics and the
like loaded), the first time you evaluate
Subscript[H, 1] = 110; Subscript[H, 2] = 90;
H = Subscript[H, 1] + Subscript[H, 2];
Tanh[Subscript[H, 1]]
you get
Tanh[110]
rather than
Tanh[200 ]
1
?
If nothing else interferes with the evaluation of the above expressions
and still get Tanh[110] as the result of the first time evaluation, that
would implies that the main loop on Linux behaves differently (and in an
unexpected way) than on the other platforms, i.e. the evaluation process
is buggy!
