There are more strange things with Fritz's UCI support:

Sometimes when running a testset, before each position the program receives the
ClearHash message twice! Thus, when you run something like 2 second perposition
test, the results are nonsense, as a considerable amount of time is spent in
clearing the hash tables. I have added an "Ignore ClearHash" option, and turn it
on when running testsets.

Also, sometimes Fritz GUI doesn't wait for your program to send "readyok" before
starting the timer. So the program sometimes loses close to ten seconds when it
is initializing the tablebases.
