[Bug-gnubg] External controller and redoubles

[Rod Roark]

Much better, thanks!  I may have a nice robot very soon!

I'll offer another minor bug report.  When I make a bad
double, GnuBG beavers, even though the FIBS board indicates
that redoubles are not allowed.  For example:

>From FIBS: rodr doubles. Type 'accept' or 'reject'.
To FIBS: board
>From FIBS:

To Ext: 
board:You:rodr:0:0:0:0:-1:0:0:0:-1:5:0:3:0:0:0:-4:5:0:-1:0:-3:0:-5:0:0:0:0:2:0:1:0:0:0:0:1:0:0:1:-1:1:25:0:0:0:0:0:2:0:0:0
>From Ext: beaver
