Hi there,

I have a strange problem with the new patchlevel 64 of gnuchess.
It dumps core with Segmentation Fault when I try to load a game
via 'get'. Strange is that this only happens with 'gnuchess' and
'gnuchessx'; NOT with 'gnuchessr' for example. In my old p62 version
it all works fine even with 'gnuchess' ... --- so, what can it be ?
I noticed that it dumps core within the GetGame() call in dspcom.c
right between some skip() calls. Has it to do something with the
InPtr-pointer maybe ? - Any hint very welcome.

 Regards, Pat !
