Yes something is wrong. I've heard that when the learning files get too
big there can be problems. I'm _not_ overclocking. In the past overclocking
has lead to lockups. I'm running my cpus at their correct speed. I can't
rule out hardware problems. I'll swap out my memory with different memory
and see if that makes any difference, but my other chess engines seem to be
running fine.

Under NT 4.0 the exact error message is:

The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
memory could not be "read".

At this point I can click "Ok" to exit the program, or click "Cancel" to
debug. When I click debug I get:

0xC0000005: Access Violation

..but then it doesn't show in the code where the error occured, which
makes me wonder what is causing the problem. The error message itself
seems rather strange. Haven't tried without book.bin or position.bin
yet, but I'll post about the result when I do.

My crafty.rc file is as follows:

tbpath=d:\tb,e:\tb;f:\tb
mt=2
egtb
hash=48M
hashp=32M
cache=32M
swindle on
book random 1
book width 2
resign 0

..which I believe is correct.
