Curious. When I changed the replacement strategy
from "replace only if position to be stored has
a search depth > than the one being replaced" to
either >= or always-replace, the PV's all started
looking better. Not just in the opening position
of the original test but throughout a game.

I am curious as to why this might be as I thought
the replacement strategy was important but wouldn't
introduce pathology.
