Since it crashes on race positions there might be a problem with the new
bearoff databases (gnubg uses bearoff databases for calculating bg
chances; also multiple ply may reach bearoff database). 

Has anybody been able to reproduce the problem on un*x? Especially
interesting is Jim's BSD since the memory handling is different on those
boxses, so any possible memory problem would be more likely to show up
there.
