2d easily beat 2c in 3/3 however it still had 1 time loss. it was +5 =4-1 for a 10 game match 3/3
10 games is pretty much random, I think -- the only change between 2d and 2c is a correction of the amount of time spent generating pvs from tablebase hits at the root. That means, only when 5 or fewer pieces are on the board would there be any change, and the only change would be that it returns a shorter pv in less time when there isn't much time left.
I'm surprised that there was a time loss from 2d, though -- there's no reason I can think of that would cause it (if that sort of time loss doesn't happen sometimes to stockfish-ja). You can send me the pgn and/or another other output if you want me to take a look.

I think the problem may be Arena. Looking at some of the games it seems that it sometimes will call a time loss with double digit seconds left on the clock.

eremy here are the results from my last 3/3 Grand slightly better. No time losses I ran it in Auarium 4.0.6 Damn another key gone this keyboard is crap off to the store.

If you are playing hyperbullet, you need to adjust the time management settings so it doesn't lose on time. Someone suggested the following settings earlier in this thread and I found them to work quite well:
Minimum Thinking Time = 2
Emergency Base Time = 20
Emergency Move Time = 7

Thanks Peter I'll try them tonight. I don't usually play engine v engine I use them for cc analysis. Trying to help Jeremy and Uly develop a better analyses engine.

Do you ever formulate sentences that don't piss people off?
None of the changes in these builds affect Stockfish's time management, except that TB access requires some amount of time. However, that time is tracked and used in the same time management calculations as the rest of Stockfish. Beyond that, very few of these games ever get to a point where TB access is an issue at all.
But, as they say, You Have The Source Code. Step up and fix it if you can.
Sorry for my choice of words, but apparently this has been said before ( the time losses), and nothing has been done to fix this.
In Fritz Gui the engine losses quite often on time.
