I ran into problems when I screwed up and stored it wrong. I can't remember
exactly what my bug was, but I probably messed up and converted it into a >=
mate in 500 lower bound, which is of course almost exactly wrong. This can
happen if you just look at the score and convert it to a bound, for instance "if
(score >= mate_low) { score = mate_low; bound = lower; }"
It's just a case that has to be paid attention to and disposed of properly.
