[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server 7 error

I have got a peculiar SQL server 7 bug/issue any ideas would be welcome.
 
Problem: Different logons produce different data results from client
application
 
The application calls a series of view enhanced stored procedures stored on
a SQL Server 7 database that query from a large database that is copied over
from an Informix database back end every night.  After I have built these
base tables, I add indexes to the tables to speed up the queries.  During my
testing today, these base table have been un-touched, I have just selected
from them.  The stored procedures are all re-compiled before being run
(although this should have no impact except on the run speed).
 
Example: A user logs onto the client application and runs a report off.  I
them run the same report after that user and get differing results (more
rows returned).
Then the initial user runs the same report again and gets the new, different
results as I did.  
 
It would appear that records are omitted from the SQL (sproc) results until
another logon 'finds' them....  
 
I have found nothing online that mentions this error, unless I am looking in
the wrong place.
 
The SQL Server instance I am running on is:
Microsoft SQL Server  7.00 - 7.00.1063 (Intel X86) Apr  9 2002 14:18:16
