This is due to a gnuchess bug.  Mike McGann has put the fix in pl62,
but that isn't released quite yet.  Meanwhile, he sent me a copy of
the fix quite some time ago, so I'll post it here (again):

the fix for the castle illegal move problem is in
init.c about line 299 it has:

compptr = oppptr = -1;

it should be:

compptr = oppptr = 0;
