I've patched the bug by returning a >fixed value for now, but... which value is best? Ok guys, I did manage to take just a quick peek at the code after all and I found that as Tord said (and Kols, Robert, Alvaro, Anthony and practically everyone else here in the CCC but me!) there was a one-line bug in the quiesce code that wouldn't pickup the stand pat score when appropriate. That's now fixed and everything works well! :-) A bit *THANKS* to you all! :-) Bug aside, it's been an enlightening discussion for me.
