I am running gnuchess 3.1 on a Sun SPARC-2 and think I may have run
into a bug.  I am on move #17 and gnuchess has been thinking about
its move for about 24 hours now.  I wish it would move already, I
want to beat this computer!  It must be in some kind of loop or
something.  Oh yeah, I'm playing using xchess.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated!  Please E-mail.

Here's my game:
