Well that is for Movei.

For most engines that installed in the CB interface I can initiate the hash
table size in the change main engine dialogue, but the interface itself controls
it. Take Crafty for instance. If I use 128M hash, it only actually allows 108M
and 20M for tb indices.

This is a prime example of how the interface takes control.
