CTC loss from warp_ctc giving different results on repeated execution

1

Using the SeanNaren pytorch bindings for warp-ctc, I sometimes get different results for the same function call. This is running on K40 GPUs. Also, it sometimes gives negatives results which I believe should be impossible since warp-ctc computes loss as negative log-likelikhood, and the preceding softmax function is built into the implementation.
