I have Ruffian set as a UCI engine and the Ruffian log indicates that it
correctly sets the hash table sample below; First move out of book also
indicates 64M used. I did set 128M in Fritz but the Ruffian CFG is set as 64M.

Although to be honest from what I'm seeing something is wrong with your results.
