I can't play with it myself to see what you mean (Windows and Linux only!?!),
but it sounds to me like non-determinism may just be a sign of inaccuracy. For
a realtime visual simulation it only has to look right, but a tenfold increase
in accuracy would take ten times as long without any visual improvement. So
you can probably achieve this already -- perturb the initial conditions and use
a very large time step.
