I think (but I am not sure) that I narrowed down the issue to a stochastic 
process that has no seed defined. Unfortunately it's not my package so I have 
to do mostly guesswork on this regard.
What has surprised me though, is that I managed to get exact same results on 
three different platforms (linux, mac, windows) and three different versions 
(3.4, 3.5.3, and development), but the only platform that shows the variation 
is the CRAN one. Only when I added a single throwaway sample() call I got the 
same behaviour on my machines.

Thank you for your help.

    it probably makes sense to more directly indicate what package is causing 
problems (e.g., sharing the location of a public repository of the source) and 
the nature of the error (cut-and-paste the check output here?). Likely this 
will lead both to insight into the problem being flagged by the builder, and 
the reason why you are not able to reproduce it.

        Standard debugging, and (as Uwe already said) win-builder for that OS, 
rhub
        for others, and asking here, ...  Imperfect, but doable.

        It would be so nice to have actual Docker containers to reproduce 
issues.
        Maybe one day.
