You did something wrong :-)
Try gnuchess -c 10 first to see how big the file gets.

"-c 22" should create a hash file with 2^22 POSITIONS.
POSITION > Byte

For 5.0 I think file sizes should be in bytes if convenient.
Maybe the fast transposition table size should too.
It depend on the cost of % v & (mod versus and).

Try using "ln -s defined-bookfile real-bookfile" :-)
See "man ln" for details.
