[ADMB Users] a difference in estimates between versions?

Hi my std file is below.
I am running 64bit Debian and am using the intel compilers.
There might be some difference between the 32bit and 64 bit; however there
may be some
differences between compilers too. (Although there shouldn't be...)
I hope this helps.

My admb version is:

ADMB Project
Version 10.1
Released January 17, 2011

index   name   value      std.dev
     1   r    5.0091e-01 1.3348e-02
     2   B1   8.9788e+04 2.8722e+03
     3   K    9.0963e+04 1.2664e+03
     4   lnq -2.1687e+00 1.1685e-01
