This appears to be, unfortunately, a problem with the database code that is more
likely to happen as the database gets larger. It appears to get SIGNIFICANTLY
more likely to happen as a database approaches (or passes) 500,000 games.

Even more unfortunately, it cannot be fixed, because we do not have the source
code for the database module, as it was created by TASC especially for
Chessmaster. Therefore, there is no workaround for it, other than deleting games
(probably about 10,000 at a time, is what I would suggest), until the
optimization is successful.
