It is the same, but the PV information gets replaced with each ply, instead of
being listed.  I discovered the problem under Winboard, and ran Crafty directly
to get the output that was in the original message.

Sufficient for what?  My sentence meant "sufficient for demonstrating that
Crafty is perhaps not analysing the position as well as possible".  I am not
sure what "sufficient" means in your sentence.

I have read it before.  It is far too long for wade through it on the rare
occasions that I use the command line interface.  I generally use the "help"
command, and guessed that "analyze" would be for a whole game.
