Not sure that I entirely grasp the question, but you may find the answer in this interesting topic Larry Kaufman recently started: http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35458 .

Re: Houdini 1.03 hangs in infinity MV-mode

Hi,
Houdini 1.03 hangs in Multi-PV Modus!

try this:

[d]2r3r1/2Nb1pkp/Q2p4/4p1b1/1p4q1/N2P2P1/PPR2P1P/4R1K1 w - - 0 28
Levitina-Gaprindashvili, URS-ch 1979

e.g. 3-var modus: play 28.Nab5 Qf3 29.Qxd6 Bh3 - Analysis window is suddenly blank.

Houdini hangs in memory, used 2 Cores (Taskmanager shows this), move backwards - still no output.

It happends in Chessbase-GUI and also in Shredder12 classic-GUI

OS Win7 x64

Herbert,

Thank you!
Your information enabled me to reproduce the problem on my development platform, so the most difficult part in solving this issue is done :).
I'll keep you informed about the solution.

Thanks again,
Robert

For your information, the correction of this problem should be fairly straightforward (a single line of code to add); I'll provide a fixed release tomorrow Saturday 17th July.
I'll keep you informed, sorry to all users for the inconvenience.
