I'm having trouble with gnuchess-3.1 running under xchess freezing up
when I move a pawn into the eight rank.  It shows up as a queen (I'm
not aware of how to influence that decision) and then the computer
never moves.  Does anyone else have this problem?  It's not completely
consistent--sometimes it will move afterwards, especially in a simple
endgame position.  It seems most likely to freeze when a pawn queens
in a complicated middle game (usually one that's about to get
uncomplicated, though).
