It is an hidden bug waiting to fire. The main problem is
that ss[ply] is overwritten by search() and qsearch() called
from IID and razoring, so that we cannot hold a pointer to a
local EvalInfo variable.
For instance if we go razoring then we overwrite the pointer
with the address of a variable local to qsearch(), when we return
from qsearch() variable goes out of scope and now ss[ply].evalInfo
holds a stale pointer !
Because we are not looking for troubles we go through the
safe route and we remove it entirely.
No functional change.
