They will overwrite eachother's results. We are currently discussing
alternatives which would change this behavior.

This works as expected. Depending on the call line executed, I get
different points in the second results.

Currently if you want have separate results for call lines with the same
variables you will need to use a dummy variable. I'd suggest an OS
variable if you are running them on different operating systems.
