Subject: GNU chess problem
Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk


I noticed that the version of gnu chess (/usr/src/gnu/games/chess) shipped with
2.0.5 is pretty old. It doesn't seem to support the gnuchessx features needed 
by the 2.0.5 xboard package.

I fetched and built the latest version of gnu chess (from prep) without any
major hickups.

However, it fails consistently with a memory fault fairly early on, but the 
generated core file isn't valid.

Before I dig into this further, I thought I'd ask if anyone has already
solved the problem.

tnx in advance

tony
