this is Eugene's code, not mine.  I just happened to be the first to use it.

1.  the caches are separate, and both programs will have a bunch of files
open.  I have no idea what the current windows limits are. Under Linux,
engine vs engine with all 220 tablebase files cause no problems at all.

2. the search will definitely slow down in some positions. But remember that
you are getting perfect information from the table.. so in this case, slower
is better...
