    Hi Jeff,
             I also tried to see if increasing the value
    of TT_MAXTYPES in the header file "database.h" helps.
    Increasing this above the value of 192 would mean that
    the value of TT_MASKWORDS becomes 7 which would
    require you to change the rest of the definitions of
    TTMaskZero, TTMaskIsZero etc etc....which I did. That
    did not help either. I had changed the value of
    TT_MAXTYPES to 200.....Maybe I should try a still
    higher value. 
    
    Best Regards,
    Prakash.
