Hmmmm.  I run gnuchessr and get:

Enter #moves #minutes: 60 5

White 5:00  Black 5:00

 R N B Q K B N R

Book used 0 of 250000 entries.
Warning can't find book.
transposition table is 131072

I guess I don't have the book installed correctly.  Since it doesn't
complain about the hashfile, I must have got that working.  I guess
I'll wait for gnuchess-4.0.pl61 and try again.
