With different hash entries programs make different decisions what to prune and what to cut, so differences are to be expected. Furthermore there is a very slight chance of hash key corruption, which can lead to different behavior, although that should occur _very_ rarely and should not be reproducible. After all chessprograms are not as deterministic as one might think. regards Joachim
