Why different results from DC and DC Sweep?

I have this problem usually when there are Op-amps in play. I run a DC analysis and can sometimes get wrong or just plain bizarre results, but when I run a simple DC Sweep I get different and much more believable results. What gives?

@joeyglloyd,

Can you post an example?

There is a difference between CLs rail opamps and their rail-less models. The answers may be different using these two models in your two cases.
