After consulting an earlier thread I see that the correct syntax for the book
command is:

>book add book.pgn

Now I get a segmentation fault:

>./gnuchess 
>GNU Chess v5.02

>Transposition table:  Entries=1024K Size=32768K
>Pawn hash table: Entries=384K Size=24576K
>White (1) : book add book.pgn
>Opened existing book!
>Segmentation fault

Anybody know what is happening here?

Thanks,

 John
