I've just compiled gnuchess + xboard, for the first time, and am experiencing
similar problems.  A few more specifics, to help the resolution:

   HP-UX 8.07 on 425 machine.
   gcc version 2.3.3
   gnuchess 4.0.62
   xboard 2.1.11

   The problem seems to be with the gnuchess, rather than xboard. The opening
moves are very fast, but then it all stops.  xboard will carry counting down 
a 5 minute play time, way past when the flag drops.  Presumably, because it's
waiting for a response from gnuchessx.  Playing gnuchess[n] exhibits similar
symptoms - play for a while, then stop.  However, what's more revealing is 
that the computer time played stops decrementing.  gnuchess still responds to 
^C, to abort, but that's about it.

   Any help appreciated.  Thanks.
