Thanks for the quick replys.  So, it is OK that different hash table sizes will
result in different moves being selected (I am still somewhat uncomfortable with
this somewhat nondeterministic behavior--although it should be deterministic
when searching to a given fixed depth and with a given hash size).

Is it still the case that bigger is better (so long as paging is not an issue)
with hash tables, even if the "best" move is not picked for some test suite
problems?

Also, can anyone (easily) explain WHY different moves would result--I would
think hash tables should not impact the search tree, just speed it up??
