It was a problem in the old crafty engines but not with the crafty that is
exists now.

I can see crafty often start from big depth as an engine for Junior because it
does not clear the hash tables after every move.
I remember that Bob said that there may be also other problems if crafty as
engine for fritz save only part of the information from search to search.

The best test is to do the nunn match between crafty as engine for fritz and the
real crafty and to see if the real crafty is clearly better.
