I am using a k6/200 Mhz and used 9182 Kbyte HASH and commercial fritz5
engine.
Time control was 40 in 120.
I saved the game with complete evals, search-depths and computing-times
and could send the compressed database to anybody who does not believe
my results.
My other 10 chess programs like the speed of my k6/200 Mhz.

I could try if I can myself reproduce the game. It could be that Fritz5
plays only the same garbage if you replay the complete game from
beginning.
You cannot try to replay it from the "strange" moves because the
problems started maybe somewhere else.

They say that less hash causes whatever. I think that is a very nice
excuse !
If a chess programs needs at least 50 MB HASH to play chess... :-)
