Losing hands in Caribbean Stud calculations

I'm just throwing this question out in case anyone has a quick answer. I'm not expecting any deep thought.

I'm getting -5.23% for CStud value instead of -5.22%. Looking closer, I found that my total hand combinations for CStud calculations are low by 468055968 or .0024% of hands. Somewhere I'm dropping every 40000th hand or so?? What nook and/or cranny causes such small losses of hands?

Furthermore, apart from a net loss of hands, straights(incl royals) and pair/singletons counts are all low, while pair/set/house/quads are all high.

I've got my runs down to about 8 hrs, so the cost of trying things isn't prohibitive, but it's not 0, and I'm not sure where to look.

At first glance, I don't see anything obvious. Note that 468066968 er, 468055968 = 4861 x 59 x 51 x 32.

Thank you for the thought. Maybe it will come in handy.

It looks like the problem might be with my threaded code. No amount of combinatorics was gonna find that. I have a fixed version running now to confirm.
