Subject: mtd/pvs hybrid?

Zotron has gotten brittle enough to justify a big overhaul. One of my constant
problems have been occasional spectacular hash errors, which occasionally find
their way to the root, resulting in the engine occasionally attempting to make
an illegal move. The way the current program is structured, I HAVE to use the
hash table. In the next version, I'd like to isolate the hash table a bit more
from the rest of the program in the hope of avoiding these problems, and
eventually finding the @#$^%^^@ bug(s). Unfortunately, I use mtd, which relies
rather heavily on the hash. I think I can get around this by having mtd calling
pvs, w/ pvs using the typical move pv[][] structure. Has anyone done anything
like this before? Am I wasting my time?
