Comment (by knarf):

 Non concerning nans: the absolute differences in the velocity here are
 larger than 10e-7. This is usually considered too large for double-
 precision hydro simulations. Only looking at the Cactus-diff-output I
 cannot judge why that is, but I suspect these values are supposed to be
 zero, or close to it, but -ffast-math seems to produce a considerably
 larger error. This is a problem.

 I don't think we are likely to find a workaround for this in time for the
 release (code that works better even with fast math). I would suggest to
 remove --fast-math from the Ubuntu option list for the time being.
