Thanks Steve, Adding the return to markExercise() at least prevents Scid vs. PC from crashing.

There is one procedure i know crashes Scid, and this feature is using it. It is engine::search. If anyone with engine programming experience would care to look at it ? Ralph's example seems a decent way to get it to dump core. Backtrace is below. Until it is fixed, you can just add this return line to disable it in the uci game (tcl/tools/analysis.tcl) ..... proc markExercise { prevscore score } { + return ...... Cheers.
