Subject: Horrific Gambit Tiger bug

Author: Peter Stein

When I have the Gambit Tiger 1.0 engine loaded and try to play a 2:10 (2 + 10
sec increment) game the program will halt for certain move orders!! The
following is 100% reproducible:

white:me black:gambit tiger 1.0  time control: 2:10
---------------------------------------------------
1.    e4       Nf6
2.    Nc3      d5
3.    e5       Ne4
4.    d4       Nc3
5.    bc

And at this point the program stops responding. No 5th move is made by Gambit
Tiger and it simply runs out the clock! Regardless of the merit of the move
sequence at no time should a program ever cease responding in this way.
Obviously this is a very serious bug. Despite 2 emails pointing out this problem
I've not heard a word from the folks at Rebel.
