The reason for this was extremely weird behavior on the part of accuclock,
though, not anything I would call a bug in WinBoard.  chess.net now likes to
have a "/" in front of commands, but it seems that if you put one in front of a
move ("/e2e4" instead of "e2e4", for example), accuclock doesn't work.  At
least, that's what Uli discovered by experiment.  I have no clue as to what was
happening.  I've switched to not putting the "/" in front of moves.  (So be sure
not to do "alias e2e4 resign" on chess.net.  :-)
