False, it's a game for 2820 players ...

Or at least, so says Gnuchess 4.0.pl75 running on Linux - it segfaults in 
search() with side=2819 (I think side should be either 0 or 1, I don't 
know which is which).

I'm interested in trying to fix this.  It's obviously a configure 
problem, as I've got Gnuchess running successfully on Solaris 2 (SVR4.0), 
and I compiled both versions in the same way.  Configure got it wrong on 
Solaris 1 (SunOS 4.1.3), it included the curses library before instead of 
after the termcap library ...

So can anyone help me, or even just suggest who I should contact?

Thanks in advance,

Nikhil.
