Or they used to be. I can reproduce what Nicolet described by running:
gq -l games/nngs/Lazarus-gnugo-3.1.31-200204140254.sgf -L 90 -r 6 -t -w
If I change the "6" to "5", GNU Go gets a different status for the P10
group.
I have tracked this down to a side effect of different hash collisions
with the killer move heuristic by Evan. (Eventually, find_defense()
returns a different move to owl.)

We should fix the random seed that computes the Zobrist hash numbers.
But this has all nothing to do with cosmic_5_1.2a.
