Mahalanobis distance in JMP differs from other methods

Hi,
I am comparing Mahalanobis distance calculated by JMP vs. one reported in other tables using their software. The JMP reports for MD 2.35 +/- .54 vs. 1.23 +/- 0.68 . I was wondering if there is anything special about JMP. I have 30 data points with 6 variables.
Thanks Jim for the reply and definition of MD in JMP. The one I like to use is Mahalanobis distance defined in Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS). I have attached the definition in the attached file. It looks like there are differences.
