Hello all, I'm trying to get a version of Gnuchess4.0 running smoothly. In particular, I'm using pl74. The problem is that when I'm running it for a while(about 20-40 moves) it crashes. I was running in ICS mode(that is, I let Gnuchess play against other people on ICS using XBoard interface with Zippy extension. Here are some indications of the problem: 1)It crashes only when playing. When Gnuchess crashes, the first message in the Xboard console is "WRITE FAILED: USER DISK LIMIT REACHED" even though I made sure that I had some disk space available. 2)The second message is "ERROR: FIRST CHESS PROGRAM(GNUCHESSX) EXITED UNEXPECTEDLY." System hardware and software: not so sure about the chip because I couldn't use sysinfo comm. Possibly DEC ALPHA - OSF/2 - Unix under X WIndows. Compile options: I only changed the bin and lib directories Possible probem: I figure that while It's playing, It tries to write to the hashfile and there's not enough disk space for it(I have a student account, so there is a disk limit around 2-3M). However, I don't know how to turn the hashfile option ON or OFF. Futhermore, when I exited Xboard, I saw a file named "core" and it's always around 65000 bytes. So I think that if I can turn the hashfile option OFF, It will be OK. Anyone with any idea of what the problem may be, please post your solution or e-mail me. I greatly appriciate it. Sincerely,
