I don't know if this is related to your problem, but RolloutGeneral and
BasicCubefulRollout are probably overly complex since they allow the
input of multiple cubeinfo's. There is no gain in speed from this, so we
could remove it to make the routines a bit less complex (i.e., avoid all
the loops over cci).

The only place where gnubg is called with multiple cubeinfos is
GeneralCubeDecisionR, which is easily fixed by calling RolloutGeneral
twice instead.

I can do the necessary changes, but I won't like to introduce merge
conflicts into your work so I'll await your "go".
