[Bug-XBoard] xboard polyglot error

[Srdja Matovic]

Recently my xboard on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 throws an error when starting 
an UCI engine via polyglot.

Tried version 4.7.3 from repository and 4.8.0 self compile, testwise 
removed .xboardrc and xboard.conf and reinstalled, no luck.


xboard: Error: first chess program (polyglot -noini -ec 
"/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/stockfish7" -ed 
"/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/" -uci NalimovCache=4) exited unexpectedly


When starting polyglot itself, it looks alright...

polyglot -noini -ec "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/stockfish7" -ed 
"/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/" -uci NalimovCache=4,PolyGlot 1.4.67b 
by Fabien Letouzey.
uci
id name Stockfish 7 64
id author T. Romstad, M. Costalba, J. Kiiski, G. Linscott
option name Write Debug Log type check default false
...

I surely installed some updates recently, not sure which could have such 
an effect...any suggestions?
