But as Stas pointed out, you weren't running the same command on both 
machines; you added the robust option on machine 1 but not machine 
2.  Also, when results don't converge or you get extremely high 
standard errors, I don't think it matters too much if your results 
are a little different on different machines; either way they are 
probably wrong!
