I have experienced crashes after a random number of hours of infinite analysis with both Fritz 6 and Junior 7 even though I have 256 MB of memory, with only 128 MB allocated to hash tables for these programs. It seems implausible that further reduction of hash table size would help, and even if it did, smaller hash tables will significantly slow down deep analysis. It would be nice if the Chessbase programs could produce log files in the style of Crafty and Yace, so that it might be possible to see whether these lockups typically occurred when the hash table was full, or close thereto. Unfortunately, in the absence of log files, there is no diagnostic data available to indicate what is causing the problem.
