I can't say what's wrong, but you have something badly broken.  When
crafty says "target: 3:46" that means it will take 3:46 or *more* to
make a move.  It never does otherwise.  I don't know whether you have
a "sd=n" command in your crafty.rc, or on your -fcp "crafty winboard"
command line, but something is seriously wrong.

I can certainly clip a few parts from current log files to post here to
show you how it should look.  First thing to check is to be sure you
don't have something ugly in your crafty.rc file...  because in most
cases, crafty said target: 3:46, and only took 5-8 seconds per move,
and was only searching about 60K nodes *total*.

As I said, something broken, and broken *badly*.  Let me know what you
find, as "crafty" doesn't miss time allocations like that.  It is
*always*
*over* the limit by a second or two, *never* undes except when it
declares
that a move is "easy"...
