GNU Chess on Linux won't work!

I've been trying to get gnuchess working with xboard on my P90 running
linux 1.2.13 and XFree 3.1.2 for a while now -- with always the same
problem. GnuChess quits (unexpectedly, of course) whenever it gets out
of its opeining book. A FAQ that I pulled down does mention this
problem in pl72, but claims that it happens intermittently and in the
middle of the game, whereas this ALWAYS happens. I'm  using pl75 and
xboard 3.3 which I believe are the most recent versions and I've
recompiled gnuchess several times but with no luck. Anyone have an
idea about things I can try?
