Subject: Checker programming questions.

I've been trying to develope a checker program for few months. Now it works fine
if
I start level of depth =6 or less. If starting depth is 8 or more ,some of the
piece may
disappear . If starting depth is 12, about half of pieces of their squares
disappear.
 I write a function to break and watch the program on some nodes and find out
 that the bizarre behavior  appears around  the 350000th  node.But I don't
understand it. If I stopped the program on a few nodes before reaching the
350000
th node and watched it node by node, it appeared to be normal on screen.
 If I let it run automatically again,it became crazy again.
  My question are...
1. Does my program run out of stack space?
2.How to fix it?
I 'am an ameateur programmer.My program is based on TSCP concept. I use TURBO
C 2 on DOS 6.0. My Internet membership was expired. I 'm still looking for a new
ISP.I'll be back in about one week. I think I will have a lot of questions in
the future.
Could I have some email address for asking AI programming questions?

Thanks in advance,
