Removing the GUI from the picture an running crafty from the command line
entering

ponder off
setb 6r1/p1pq1p1p/1p1p1Qnk/3PrR2/2n1P1PP/P1P5/4R3/6K1 w - - 0 1
analyze

Both 20.0 & 20.1 BH compiles find the solution, 20.0 finds it quicker. I have no
idea what GUI is being used or what settings are in the crafty.rc file but a
simple hash=96M hashp=48M gives the correct results.


hash table memory =   96M bytes.
pawn hash table memory =   48M bytes.
