Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #48571] Error after selecting new engine.

[h . g . muller]

Well, from the debug file it looks like GNU Chess is started, and responds
to commands, and then suddenly crashes. It does send a non-compliant
'Timelimit[n]=300' quite often(probably in response to 'accepted XXX'),
but this should not be harmful. This might be due to not using an option
with the engine command, asJoshuawrites. At some point it sends 'pong 1'
twice, which points to an error, as it should be sent only once, in
response to 'ping 1'. And after that it apparently dies.

I have no idea why GNU Chess would crash in the Greek locale. I don't have
this exact GNU Chess version installed (I have 6.2.0-rc1). And why it
would matter whether you specify it through the XBoard command line or the
Load Engine dialog. Perhaps commands are sent in a slightly different
order when using the dialog.

But in any case it is not an XBoard bug. That XBoard exits when an engine
unexpectedly dies is by design. Of course it can be debated whether this
is themost useful design.
