No idea about the answer though, sorry - but it doesn't sound like a book
problem to me.

My first idea was that you set a too high value for hashtables, but this clearly
can't be the case as it would affect the first game too.

Hope the more trollish headline triggers one of the engine lovers playing on the
Fritz server to answer:).

Good luck,
Peter
