I'm not aware of any, and I doubt very much if they would insert such a thing
since they have no incentive to do that.  It should be fairly simple to modify
one engine to dump out the commands as they are received and then you would know
for sure.  Sort of an "echo" mode.

It also runs Millenium system chess engines.
