In search routines we use information from previous ply
and init killers two plies ahead.
So for me it seems correct to copy 4 searchstack items
in split:
ply - 1, ply, ply + 1, ply + 2
Because
a) we do not split at root (ply == 0)
b) ply < PLY_MAX and SearchStack size is PLY_MAX_PLUS_2
there should be no risk of underflows or overflows

for (int i = 0; i < ActiveThreads; i++)
if (i == master || splitPoint->slaves[i])
{
- memcpy(splitPoint->sstack[i] + ply - 1, sstck + ply - 1, 3 * sizeof(SearchStack));
+ memcpy(splitPoint->sstack[i] + ply - 1, sstck + ply - 1, 4 * sizeof(SearchStack));
Threads[i].workIsWaiting = true; // This makes the slave to exit from idle_loop()
