Subject: search instability?

hi

here is my PVS code

   if(first move)
       score=-search(-beta,-alpha,depth-1);
   else
   {
       score=-search(-alpha-1,-alpha,depth-1);
       if(score>alpha && score<beta)
          score=-search(-score,-alpha,depth-1);
   }

should i use (-beta,-alpha) when search fails instead of (-score,-alpha).
can the algorithm handle search instablity correctly?

regards
daniel
