Maybe or maybe not.  You _do_ have to do something if you use Eugene's probe
code.  You have to compile it telling it whether to only probe the 3 vs 3
6 piece files, or to ignore 6 piece files.  The default is to ignore them,
which saves a lot of memory.  T33_INCLUDE must be defined when you compile the
egtb.cpp code to actually probe the 6 piece files...
