LambChop staying in memory

I have to cancel (again) all games played last night in my tourney : after losing at board 3, LambChop stayed in memory and was taking 80% of CPU .
If you are running automated tournaments, beware ! LamChop may spoil all following games...

Hello Olivier,
It happens not always but when it is, it's a BIG problem and you can start again your games. It's better during the night.
Don't hesitate to use the commande
TerminateHard=true in your file wb2uci.eng
if you have a doubt about an engine. During my tournaments, I always control that the engines are playing alone on the computer and that not another is busy with CPU
Bests wishes

Thanks a lot for the tip, Claude ! I will add this command to my wb2uci file.
Of course, using LambChop in UCI mode is even worse, you get loses on time.
