I didn't report it before, as I was too busy to do a proper debugging, and "it crashes" report seems hardly useful, but here are some of my guesses:
1. There maybe some problem with near-mate engine handling. Before, I reported problems with heavy CPU usage in such situations. Now CPU handling does not improve, but I noticed random near-mate crashes with various engines (noted at least with Stockfish, Grapefruit and infamous Robbolito) 2. I am not 100% sure this is new, but it happens that tkscid process uses more than 15% of CPU in infinite analysis mode, slowing down engine. 3. Another source of freezes is tree handling. If current position or current database changes during tree search, tree often freezes in the middle of operation and to fix it, you need to either restart Scid or perform random database/move changes. -- Michal Rudolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
