I knew/felt where the problem was, but it still took me some "thinking" to reproduce it :-) If you start scid and analyse a game with crafty all goes fine. And if the game is (respect!) a 99-out-of-100 game you can alternate between UCI and non-UCI annotations just fine . But: Analyse a game with a UCI engine that somehow ends in a position that allows the engine to spot a mate (e.g. 1.f4 e5 2.g4; the engine will propose Qh4# as a possible finish of the game). Then kill the engine. Go back in the game, and start another annotation (without book) from there, using a non-UCI engine. Then the problem shows. The score evaluation is still hampered by the mate preview by the previous annotation, which is not cleaned up. This non-cleaning is the bug. The only challenge remaining is to have and keep it filled before starting crafty. You succeeded :-) Note that the problem does not show if you enable book annotation. This cleans it. The fix is dearly simple. Will add it to CVS today. Thanks for spotting.
