Ah.. So let me rephrase for my own edification.

A position has been repeated twice already, and the program though it was good
before and put it in the hash table.

*NOW* it sees a win from that position where it didn't see it before, and plays
to it, seeing from the hash that it can win.

I'm still confused i guess, beause if it didn't hash it as a desirable line
before, why would it think it would be now?  Wouldn't it have to create a new
winning line *past* the hash move?  Wouldn't this always re-search that position
in question, triggering the fraw detection?
