You can get rid of the extra log files by using the following winboard options:

-initString "" -xreuse

I am working on a better fix for this, but what is happening is that Crafty is
getting an extra "new" command at the start of a game, and that causes it to
roll to a new log file even though no game has been played with the current
log.
