In repsonse to Tim Manns suggestion to read the FAQ README.

I have read the FAQ supplied with the GNUCHESS source code and it points out that I should compile with -traditional-cpp. I have GNU C version 1.4 and unfortunately it does not recognise this option. I think this option is valid for version 2 of GNU C.

As it turns out, I have managed to get gnuchessx (4.0.70) and xboard (4.1.1) to work together by compiling xboard with -DATTENTION option and also replacing all calls to ioctl() in gnuchess with nchar = 0; xboard now does not lock up occasionally. 

However I am interested if there is an alternative to my crude code patch.
