when i have games where a program plays strange weak moves that are not on the
same level like the rest of the moves in that game, it looks like a bug that
causes the bad moves.

if the hash table clear stops the program from playing those moves, it is an
indicator that the weird moves come from older hash table information.

yes. the change in the hash table is not the problem, the weird moves in the
games before without clearing the tables are the problem.

yes. but eng-eng have no ponder. so it will not damage. and maybe the weird
moves disappear.

if you can reproduce the weird moves, you should be able to find out what
component produces them.
