Great, let's wait and see. I've built with -O2, like in Jon's makefile, maybe this explains
the #Q0 thing ... Jon has to find out what's really happening (stop snowboarding Jon !!).

For the auto new match, you're right, I was missing the last changes.
I've just rebuilt with up-to-date code and re-ftped the distrib and exes to gnubg.org.

But altough in some cases clicking on the dice area triggers a pop up warning you about
the fact you're gonna lose the rest of the match, in your case it doesn't.
I guess the last fix made by Christian on the issue is not enough.

Personal opinion: the click on the board = start new match thing is not a good idea.
Would be better if it was a double click, supposing Christian is capable of having the
warning pop up appear when necessary. Or plainly as it was before (just use the New button).

One quirk: why the tutor does not warn about the wrong resign ?
I thought it is supposed to do so ...

MaX.
