He might not have noticed that "searchmp" has to be modified to make this
work reliably.  The last time I fiddled with this stuff, all the changes
were in search.c...  this means that if the program splits the tree into
parallel pieces at a ply that should be "singular" then it will behave
differently than it should...

Dann:

If you are convinced that this is really working reasonably on a single-cpu
machine, let me know and let me know where the source is located.  I will see
if I can fix it up so that it will work correctly in a parallel machine as
well...
