Sorry I was away on a business trip.

Version 5.02 seems to have problems with recent Xboards on some
platforms, mostly SUN's.

A "fix" has gone into the next release - due as soon as I catch
up - but hasn't been tested.

The CVS archive on Savanna has full details, but from a quick
diff I think it is the lines.....

122,123d110
<       else
<           SET (flags, QUIT);

That have just been deleted.

Please let me know if it works or doesn't.
