I had a similar bug. It was hashtable bug, I did not update (the line was
deleted or something) the id that determines the aging of the hashtable, so
Gaviota was playing with an old hashtable and once in a while picked an entry
that was a collision from several, several moves ago.
(at least, that was my interpretation because the problem was gone when I fixed
that stupid problem)
