Correct, at least with some versions of the WB-adapter. WB itself and Xboard
"crash", too, after they have seen too long PVs (crash or start to behave
strange - again at least some versions of it). Other GUIs have similar problems.
My engine can show the path to mate from TB-hits inside the search, this can
give very long PVs sometimes, and trigger those bugs.

In xboard mode, my engine truncates PVs, too (after a user settable length).
