Yeah, I've noticed it too. It starts to ignore time control and keeps on
going. This happens sometimes, even when its in a fix - like loosing the
queen or ends up in a dramatic change in the game like one time in an end game
when it had an advanced pawn about to queen and I was about to give up 
but I noticed a move where I stopped its pawn and queened my pawn. It never
moved after that though I could clearly see a winning line for it.

Running xchess I have a similar problem though sligntly different. 
It only happens when I run it on a black and white screen. On color 
screens there is no problem.
The black squares normally appear as squares with diagonal lines across
them. But when a black piece is placed on a black square the square turns
white and the piece acquires the color of the square. And when a white
piece is placed on a black square the square turns white but the outline
becomes dotted. Looking at board.c it looks like a major change
to fix this or I am missing something.
