I am having similar problems:

- gnuchess 4.0pl62
- gcc 2.2.2
- OS: NeXTSTEP 3.1

The program plays a few moves and then starts thinking forever (I have let
it think for 8 hours on a move when time controls where 60 5). Running
"make test" hangs in the same manner.

Here is an example game:

And there it just thought forever. 

I am about to recompile with -g so I can get more info, but it
