lets back this trolley up a bit.  So far as I can tell, there is
*nothing*
wrong with crafty's book code.  It is *impossible* for it to corrupt the
book, because it never adds anything to the book at all.  If it were
doing
this, we'd be seeing *lots* of problems on the servers where we play 500
games
a day on each program...  The problem most likely lies somewhere in your
setup, whether you have flakey memory, or something else, is unknown.
But
I played one 330 game match yesterday crafty vs crafty with *zero*
problems
of any kind...

Be careful of "there is definitely something broken with crafty's book
code."  as the evidence doesn't support that when everyone else seems to
be able to play crafty vs xyz with no problems...
