I don't think it will fix the problems...they are not due
to bugs in the adapter but caused by the used protocol.

Some time ago someone from CB posted a description of this
protocol in the WinBoard forum.

ChessBase's adapter sends time commands in a totally different way than
WinBoard does and this is quite likely to be the source of trouble.
Instead of sending 'time' and 'otime' commands like WinBoard does the
adapter keeps modifying the timecontrol via the 'level' command.
