>>>I used Winboard's "conventional chess clock" option (not the "incremental clock" option) and selected 40 moves in 6 minutes.

Very strange. I've never seen Crafty loosing on time at these time controls.

On my NT machines Crafty is loosing on time (very seldom) at "game in 2 minutes"
and faster (when playing against another winboard engine). When playing against
itself 40 moves in eight _seconds_ seems to be a magical border.
