Re: [Bug-gnubg] (BUG) Beavers Don't Work

[Christian Anthon]

That is the way it is supposed to work. How many times you want to
allow the beaver/racoon sequence to continue is controlled in
Settings->Options->Cube. If you only want to allow beavers you can set
the value to 1, default is 3.

You can also read about beavers/racoons here:
