     Actually I am kind of speechless right now. I changed all uses of
u8vector to u32vector, because of memory alignment issues on RISC
machines, and my code tells me it is searching to ply 35 in this
2001's SPARC machine, which is hard to believe. I need to investigate
this further, and will look at the generated C code.
