[Bug-XBoard] [bug #8847] Moving backward while examining on FICS not reported to engine

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #8847 (project xboard):

This should be fixed now, in the latest git version. At the point where a new
board of an already active game is received, when in zippy mode with an
initialized engine, as many undos as needed are sent to the engine when the
board number falls within existing move history. When not, a move list is
requested, and I added a call to InitChessProgram() to make sure the program
will be ready to process that list in FeedMovesToProgram() (which will be
called after the entire move list has arrived).

I guess that only leaves problems when you play with -getMoveList false. But
I am not sure that is a sensible setting in zippy mode. So for now I wanted to
leave that.

Behavior with -getMoveList true should now be OK, and is ready for testing.
