Todd,

Could you possibly post the code that is giving you the trouble.  Also
any additional information such as the compiler you are using, operating
system, PC etc. would also be helpful.

Also if you are programming under Windows and are worried about pointer
errors it might be worthwhile to run your code under Bounds Checker.
If you don't have acccess to Bounds Checker then stepping through your
program with a good debugger might point out the problem.

As a word of encouragement- Nalimov's tablebase code *does* work :)

regards,
