Subject: Crafty 20.0 - Crash on startup - related to .craftyrc settings

Author: Roy Brunjes

I downloaded and compiled Crafty 20.0 on my Fedora Core 4 Pentium 4 system (used
the default Makefile and just typed "make".

When I run crafty and my .craftyrc file has the following in it:

hash 256M
hashp 24M
cache 32M
show book
resign 6
log on
# tbpath=/home/roy/chess/TBs
# egtb

When I run crafty I see this:

[roy@localhost .crafty]$ ./crafty
found computer opening book file [./bookc.bin].
Segmentation fault

If I delete the .craftyrc file, it works fine.  So, I started commenting out
lines in .craftyrc to see which line might be the problem. It turns out that the
first line (hash 256M) is the culprit. My system has 2 GB of RAM on it and there
is roughly 1.7GB free at the moment ...

Any ideas on what might be causing this? I would like to run crafty with more
RAM used for hashtables than whatever the defaults might be.

Thanks,

Roy
