Hmm!  I got my information partly from a message from the folks working on 4.0
and partly by looking at the source code for 3.1, which I thought confirmed
that I was right---but trying it, I see the same behavior as you do.  Looking
more carefully now, it seems both I and the 4.0 developers misunderstood the
code in 3.1 (it's somewhat convoluted).  This led to incompatibility and a bug
in 4.0, though perhaps not the bug you think---it looks like "gnuchess 1" is
really setting only the maximum depth; the "response time" value printed by the
4.0 help command is meaningless.  I'll help make sure this gets straightened
out when I have time.
