I compiled gnuchess 3.1, and the xchess program that comes with it.
xchess doesn't work when given the -c option (play the computer).
It prints the error message
Error: parse_imove: piece of wrong color!
over and over and finally dies.  It does this whether or not I give it
the -b option (have gnuchess play white).
Anyone have a guess what's wrong?

My system:
SunOS 4.1.1
gcc 1.40 (and /bin/cc, I tried both)
MIT X11R5
