I have seen it, with Gothmog running in the Shredder 7 GUI.  It can be tricky
to reproduce.  I have never seen it happen in a match between two engines, it
apparently happens only in tournaments with multiple engines.  The engines
all get the right hash size in the first round, but in the subsequent rounds
UCI engines are given only 1 MB.  This happens only sometimes, not always.  I
have not discovered any pattern in when the bug arises (if it indeed is a
bug; there are people who thinks this is an intentional attempt to cripple
UCI engines).

>Is it exactly 1MB that CB allocates?

Yes.  The engine is sent a 'setoption name hash value 1' at the beginning of
the game.
