I built and installed GNU Chess 3.1 (gnuchess, gnuchessr, gnuchessn,
and xchess all in $PATH), then invoked `xchess -p gnuchessr'.  I enter
one move as white, and black's clock starts, but no response is
forthcoming.  Changing DEF_PROGRAM to name gnuchessr explicitly has no
effect either.  ps(1) shows only my xchess running, with no gnuchessr
or gnuchess behind it.

What am I doing wrong?  It's gotta be something really simple...
