Subject: Initialization of pawn hash table

Author: Zach Wegner

Date: 10:51:19 09/26/04

In my program, I allocate the hash tables with calloc(), which initializes
everything to zero. Recently I've been having a problem where the program
crashes on somewhat longer searches. After debugging, it turned out to be the
pawn hashkey is equal to 0, and the corresponding entry had not been written
into yet, making the program think it was a valid hit. The pawn data is all set
to zero and causes a seg fault later on. What's the best way to solve this?
Better zobrist numbers/ignore it? A "used" bit?

Thanks,
Zach
