Tested by me on build 28 Jan 2003.

 IF Jacoby rule enabled
   GnuBg offers to resign bg.
   IF Accept 
      score 3 points!  (I have 8 in following game.) 
      Game record reads Resigns - Perhaps should show number of points?
   ELSE
        play a roll each
        GnuBg offers to resign g
      IF Accept 
         score 2 points!
      ELSE
         play a roll each
         score 1 point

 ELSE (Jacoby rule disabled)
   GnuBg rolls to save the bg.

Possible solutions:
GnuBg should only offer to resign single
The scoring should check that Jacoby is disabled before allowing > 1 point to 
be scored.

It would be confusing (and ethically suspect) to offer a bg and then only mark 
up one point, so the first solution is correct. Adding the second check would 
be belt & braces.
