Houdini 5.01 Crash

Post by Nordlandia »

Probing 5-men Nalimov with EGTB Probe Depth of "-10" crashes Houdini 5.01 on my system.

SSD is Samsung 960 EVO M.2 (256 GB)

Image

Test position: [d]b6k/7p/2p4B/8/8/2N5/8/1K6 b - - 0 1

Houdini analyses 20-30 seconds before it crashes.

Reason?

Nalimov or Syzygy ? Doesn't crash here with the latter.

Edit: I disabled Syzygy which forces the use of Nalimov, and no crash either.

A setting of -5 doesn't trigger a crash though.

I've interested in DTM format for late endgame play and studies. Thereby using nalimov format.

Ray Banks: did you try EGTB Probe Depth of -10 and 5-men Nalimov in that position above?

-5 also cause crash. Someone on TCEC chat comfirmed that Houdart is aware of TB bug.

Not sure if it it's directly linked to Nalimov format.
