I compiled pl73 with gcc/emx under OS2  and got a  segmentation fault too.  The
problem was in  GetOpenings()  in book.c in  the  first fopen() call.   This is
caused  by  the  string  'binbook'  not  being  initialized  (problem with  the
Makefile).  To fix this, i  just removed this line and  used the second fopen()
which opens the file 'gnuchess.data' instead.

With this and a couple of other minor fixes i got gnuchessr to run OK.
