I put the following in Crafty.rc...

ponder off
setboard //////// w
setboard r3k2r/pppppppp/////PPPPPPPP/R3K2R/ w kq KQ
display
perft 1
perft 2
perft 3

I get different results if I enter the commands from the command prompt.

What do I need to do to get rid of the enpassant status is bad message?

I tried

setboard r3k2r/pppppppp/////PPPPPPPP/R3K2R/ w kq KQ a4 a5

but still get errors...
