Mine too.  Well, it wasn't actually a crash.  It's just that my scheme
for keeping track of piece inventory only allows 7 Queens max.  (You can
nicely fit the piece inventory into one 32-bit word if you only allow
7 Queens, Rooks, Bishops, and Knights to each side).  The idea was that
you will "never" see 7 of any of these in a real game, so it seemed
like a good idea.  Maybe I'll switch to two 32-bit words...
