Multiple identical CvAnn_MLPs yield different training results (Feature #1411)

Hi,
when training two seperate ANN's with identical training sets and parameters, they yield completely different results. Here is what I do:

//layout is a random working layout...
m_network->create(layout,CvANN_MLP::SIGMOID_SYM,1.1,1.1);
testwork->create(layout,CvANN_MLP::SIGMOID_SYM,1.1,1.1);

//snip... fill training_hists,training_outputs,weights

//setup tr_pars...
CvANN_MLP_TrainParams tr_pars;
tr_pars.train_method=CvANN_MLP_TrainParams::RPROP;
tr_pars.term_crit.epsilon=0.001;
tr_pars.term_crit.max_iter=1000;
tr_pars.term_crit.type=CV_TERMCRIT_ITER+CV_TERMCRIT_EPS;

//run training...
qDebug()<<"train iterations:"<<
m_network->train(training_hists,training_outputs,weights,cv::Mat(),tr_pars);
qDebug()<<"test train iterations:"<<
testwork->train(training_hists,training_outputs,weights,cv::Mat(),tr_pars);

//run a simplistic test
m_network->predict(training_hists.row(0),test);
qDebug()<<test.at<float>(0)<<test.at<float>(1)<<test.at<float>(2);
testwork->predict(training_hists.row(0),test);
qDebug()<<test.at<float>(0)<<test.at<float>(1)<<test.at<float>(2);

Now, here is what I get:

train iterations: 83
test train iterations: 52

1.12094 -1.1355 -1.15789
0.997264 -1.02149 -1.15789

These results are reproducable and at each new run, they are the same. If I trigger a new training, again with the same data set and parameters, I get again a different result, even though I use new CvANN_MLP objects and destroy the old ones.

Interestingly, all later runs of train() have a lower iteration count than the first one.
