In a recent post, Tord suggested setting a flag in the search when the hash table suggests a fail high, and testing whether the search would indeed fail high. The idea seems so simple I'm embarassed I haven't thought of it before. :) I've been 'pretty sure' for a long time that I've got some nasty hash bugs. I'm in the mood to exterminate them. Last night I implemented Tord's idea and, to my dismay (but not to my surprise) my hash table is saying 'fail high' when the search wouldn't have failed high. And- it doesn't take very long. :) This seems like a nasty thing to debug. I'm comtemplating how I might go about it. I'm hoping some of you can provide some suggestions... -- James
