Hi Andrew:
Misery loves company.  Bruja's output looks just about like Trueno's and it
insists that Kb2 is the move.  I tried the position with Crafty and Pepito and
both lock on to Kb1! almost immediately.  Like you I'm 99.9 percent sure my keys
are good and I've also tried a larger table to no avail.  I think Martin in the
post below is right - we're doing something wrong with the way we store or use
the bounds.  In the source code of Pepito in the file hash.c i found a #ifdef
DEBUG_HASHING in the hash store routine.  Soon as I have time i'm going to try
this.  Looks like what he does with the debug code is make a probe when he does
a store and check for consistency.  If you look at the code it will help to know
a little Spanish:

Deberia ser = what (the values) should be
Sin embargo = what, however, they are
prof = depth
tipo = type/flag

Good luck.  Let me know what you find and I'll do the same.
Dan H.
