I responded, but since you asked again, I will assume that either my response,
or your request, or the entire thread disappeared.

First, any program can beat any other program.  That can happen, even with
a huge hardware advantage or deficit.  Not often will a slow machine win,
but it will happen.

I'm not aware of any weaknesses in crafty of late.  Changes have been very few
as I am trying to avoid breaking anything right before the ICC event...

Maybe the other programs are playing better.  I certainly hope so.  :)
