Your test position is causing an access violation in my copy of crafty.
There is no difference if I start it in text mode or with winboard.

I'm running a dual celeron with NT 4.0, SP5.

Here are some parts my winboard.debug:

recognized 'normal' (-1) as variant normal
WinBoard 4.2.3 + Crafty_183smp
Reset(1): gameMode 0

Other test positions don't cause any trouble. Normal games games or engine
matches can be played without problems:
