	I'm having this problem under SunOS 4.1.1.  I have had GNUChess
	4.0pl60 and XBoard 2.0 working fine together, but not GNUChess 4.0pl62
	and XBoard 3.0pl8.  The "illegal move" problem happens at the start
	of a game when "two machines" is selected; it seems OK when "machine
	{white,black}" is selected.
