Ack! Sorry for the duplicate post - I accidentally submitted before typing. :P

Anyway, the hash table was certainly full by then, but a full hash table doesn't
seem to hurt Crafty in any noticeable way, like it hurts Fritz, for example.  I
run with only 12MB hash, even for overnight analyses, and the results are almost
identical when I run with larger hashes.
