I wouldn't mind speculating, but I think we need additional
information.  Could you post 1) some of the hashing code from your
search and 2) some of the code that actually stores and retrieves
the move from your hash table.

Otherwise, this really is akin to looking for the proverbial
needle in the haystack with a blindfold on and our hands tied
behind our backs ;)
