  After 9 games, the score is Gnu: +6 -1 =2.

Further examination has shown that the spurious move problem is not related
to the hash tables.  I'm not sure what is going on - Gnu will play a totally
random move (hanging its queen in one game!).  If you save the game and reload
it, gnu plays normally from the same position.  Strange.  I am *not* penalizing
gnu for these mistakes (which show up about every other game), so these 
results should be taken as an indication of the strength of a fully-debugged
Gnuchess.  It is also possible that this problem is being caused by the
compiler I'm using (IBM's XlC).
