I think they are >devising a patch . What makes you think they are devising a patch? The last I heard, the author of Shredder said he had no intentions of changing this. Apparently it would require him to setup an extra array which would slow down the engine. Infinite analysis mode has several bugs, and this is just one of them. I notified them about the hash resizing bug, which also involves Infinite Analysis mode, but they said they can't reproduce it on their computers. So I don't think we can expect them to fix any bugs. They refuse to admit that they exist. WP
