Different page breaks, same document, different computers

First post; probably dumb. Not a big deal (so "fixing" it not mission critical) but I wonder if others have come across this, and what might cause it.
717-page book, using the book document class, all .tex and generated files shared on Dropbox. On numbered page 522 there's a difference in page break between my home and work computer, and the effects propagate making some other breaks awkward that were creatively fixed earlier. It happens again about 40 pages later, so the document is two pages longer on the older computer. Both are Linux boxes. I just use an X-terminal (command line) and an Emacs text editor, so nothing fancy between my fingers, the .tex files and the output.
The newer, home box is running Linux Mint 18.3, and I'm sure the version at work is a few years older but I think also Linux Mint (or related), but I don't recall the exact version. When I run LaTeX on the newer home machine/distro it starts
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/Debian)
The first occurrence (p. 522) is on a page with a begin{example}..end{example}, begin{itemize}..end{itemize} (giving six quick integral problems in displaystyle), subsection, begin{align}..end{align} (giving five equations with integrals), and then a five-line paragraph which gets pushed completely to the next page totally on the older work box. I tried a little vspace{-.1in} or {-.2in} to pull it back and I think the latter did but it wasn't pretty.
I just have to decide which to send to the publisher, and have to be sure to rerun makeindex and make any adjustments to the index. I figure maybe there's a font substitution used on one of the boxes making a slight difference in sizes that accumulates? (I'm using fouriernc as my font.)
Thanks for any comments.

the operating system is unlikely to make any difference, addlistfilesto your document and compare the list of files/versions at the end of the log in each case.

This is almost certainly caused by slightly different package versions.

Thanks fellows. It was the first I'd seen it--LaTeX seeming to be so stable--and wondered if it is a thing others run into. (I mentioned the operating system just for context and in the unlikely event someone might chime in, "oh yeah, some of those distributions had funky tex packages.)
