Yes, it is an endianness bug. GNU chess was broken on big endian
machines. This problem is fixed in the current CVS source, which
should soon become version 5.03. In the meantime, try to get it from 

http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/chess/

If you are not familiar with CVS, you can also get a traditional
tarball from my site (which should be nearly identical to the CVS
version):

I hope that will fix your problems. (By the way, book creation is now
much faster.)

Best regards,
Lukas
