Hello Jeremiah,
Well I'm certain it is losing on time.  I'm using version wcrafty16.5.  I've
noticed it stops printing the board after each move around move 68-70.  Later it
stops printing the PV's and just prints the move.  I don't know is this is done
to conserve time or what.  It also starts giving iterative deepening errors in
the log near the end also.  I suspect all of this is a bug.  I'm going back to
version 16.2 and see if it does the same thing.
