I have a problem running gnuchess version 4pl73. I am running on a 
HP 800 model T500. A mega big machine. I calculates about 20000+ moves
per second. If I run it against itself and start it using gnuchess 5 0, 
between 7 and 9 hours after starting it crashes and produces a core dump.

The source was compiled with the symbolic debugger on, but I'm no C expert.

Xdb says it died due to a bus error. The line that caused it is in 
ttable.c in the procedure PutInTTable at line 238 which is :-
ptbl->age = TTage - TTdepthage[ptbl->depth]; /* Set age of this node */

The core file is 4226923 bytes compressed. If needed I can ftp it somewhere.
