I have Stanback's 4-25-88 version of gnuchess and I've noticed a couple
of bugs.  First, when you promote a pawn, it doesn't ask you what kind
of piece you want - it just gives you a queen.  The other thing is, if
you "undo" a promotion, the queen does not revert to a pawn like it
should: it stays as a queen.

Have these bugs been fixed since?
