Thanks for posting these, they showed a problem with my tables.  When I run
these from the initial positions, I get the solutions almost instantly, as it
goes quickly up to the maxply setting.  But the search bogs down on subsequent
moves, and takes much longer.  So I went ahead and cleared the tables after each
move, and now each move is like the first, almost instant!

So I must have a problem storing current positions over existing table entries.
Or does it sound lile something else?
