So far all versions work perfect. One problem with 12.1 is that it work only in single mode. Running 10 or 20 games parallel than all stops around move 18. Does they share the same memory adress or anything else? I have other 12.x and all do the same. No other versions do this.

There are a handful of engines that don't work well with concurrency so Crafty isn't alone although it is pretty rare.

Yes you are right. Of around 700 tested engines only a handfull do this. Because of 12.x is the only Crafty version that do this it would be interessting what is the cause of it.
