Gnuchess bug...

I was playing gnuchess last night (60 moves in 15 minutes) and
had worked a pawn down to become a queen.  Well, gnuchess wouldn't
let me make the move!  It was h7h8.  When I typed hint, thinking
maybe I was missing something, it replied "try h7h8".  Well, I tried
that again, but it wouldn't make the damn move!  Then, I switched
players.  Ie, black became the computer and I took over as white.
It was the computers move and it moved h7h8 and got the damn queen.
So I switched back and undid the move, thinking that if the computer
could do it, I could do it.  But the queen remained on the board and
I couldn't undo the pawn's promotion.  Well, I won the game, but it
seemed rather an uncouth way to go about it.

I don't recall the exact version number I have, but I got it around
a year ago.  Is there an updated version hanging about somewhere?
Source would be nice...

Email preferred.  But I'll hang around here for any replies for 
a few days.
