gnuchess-6.2.5 is not working with xboard-4.9.1

[niksa]

Hello,

unlike gnuchess-6.2.4, the 6.2.5 version is not working with xboard-4.9.1, regardless of how it was invoked:

# xboard -fcp "gnuchess --xboard" -scp "gnuchess --xboard"

or

# xboard -fUCI -fcp "gnuchess" -sUCI -scp "gnuchess"

None of these two commands is working. The xboard screen appears and everything looks fine, but when the game starts, gnuchess responds with only one move and then hangs forever. This happens regardless of whether the opening book is enabled (set to true) or disabled (set to false). This didn't happen in gnuchess-6.2.4 that was working fine and without any problem.

It is interesting however that version 6.2.5 works correctly with eboard-1.1.1.

Is there any way to fix this?

Regards,
