Subject: Perft(4) and Perft(5) for Gothic Chess

Something happened during ply 5 of the iteration. I am not sure if I am doing
the perft properly since it required a great deal of unraveling of the move
generator. I also was spawning large text files, writing every move to disk as a
double check.

The first four plies have been computed. I got "0 moves" for black after Ah3  j5
  Ae6 which is an Archbishop checking black with no mate or stalemate.The full
program handles this with no problem, so again, it must be something I whacked
doing perft.

total 1-ply positions = 28
total 2-ply positions = 784
total 3-ply positions = 25,112
total 4-ply positions = 828,560

An error occurred counting the positions
at ply 5 for: Ah3  j5   Ae6

0 black replies
checkmate: no
stalemate: no
black pieces: yes

total 5-ply positions > 29,393,835
