Hello.

I just compiled GNU chess 5.04 (on NetBSD/i386) and connected it to
icsDrone 1.5.0. Although I know the latter isn't fully optimized for
GNU chess 5 yet, I thought I'd give it a try, despite it doesn't
recognize the executable.

Without fiddling around much with settings, I manage to connect to
an ICS and let GNU chess play games on the server. But whenever it
doesn't get to start the game, it seems to go into an infinite loop.

I'm not sure if this is due to GNU chess or icsDrone, but has anyone
else watched this behaviour and have some settings I could try? As
long as it plays white (opens the game), it keeps running nicely.
