As I wrote "checking while the games were playing with taskinfo". I had no
thinking lines window open this was in CM8K tournament room. Log indicates
pondering every move.

I noticed no problems in CM9K but again didn't have the window open simply
watched taskinfo, which confirmed pondering was stopping and starting on it's
move only.
