winboard bug?

[bob]

winboard 4.2.6 has shown a strange bug...

I watched someone alternatively playing 1 0, then 60 30 games, and in the 60 30 games crafty was moving instantly. Looked at the log, and saw that crafty was _way_ behind on time, thinking it had less than 60 seconds left. Then I noticed on my xboard display I was using to watch (not the one I was using to play crafty on) the time was way off for crafty. A look at the log files showed that winboard was simply hopelessly confused. After the 1 0 game, as soon as the 60 30 game started, crafty was given 60 seconds on its clock, not 60 minutes. And no increment was applied. But the opponent's clock was going normally.

Has anyone seen xboard do this in the past???

I have tested that offline and on FICS and in both cases XBoard and Crafty worked as expected and without noticeable bugs.

I don't remember exactly, but WinBoard 4.2.6 had some bugs. Is it possible to try 4.2.7?

I don't remember what, but 4.2.7 had some issues on ICC that caused me some problems. I think it was some sort of sync problem that frequently left Crafty in the "I am not ready to start a new game yet, please try again in a few minutes" mode...
