Subject: Search Stability - ways to improve?

Monarch, like many engines, suffers from search instability i.e. while search a
move it fails high, only to then fail low when the move is searched with a wider
window.  I've notices quite a few tactical positions where Monarch "find" the
key move only to lose it again on the research.  Clearly this is not good and
could be due to bugs.  However I also notice that many of the top engines have
extremely stable searches.  So here's the question - what general or specific
things can I do to improve the stability of Monarch's search?

Thanks,

Steve
