Zippy in xboard 3.6.0 and WinBoard 3.6.0 can't resume adjourned games.  
Here is the fix.  If you cannot apply this fix and recompile, you 
can work around the bug with the -xmoves flag.  That reverts to 
the old way of resuming adjournments, by stuffing the position into 
the chess engine instead of the moves.
