Maybe a sample of the logfile makes it more clear what the special
auto232 Rebel version does. Being in auto232 it records ALL received
keyboard input and writes the results to a textfile. In this way one
can check move by move what is going on. Any suspect key-press will
immediately be reported.

Here is a sample, comments by me are marked with "//". For the
programmers among us the first 4 characters are the bios value
of the received key.

Furthermore moves marked with a "*" means Rebel received the move
OUTSIDE the permanent brain. If this happens then something weird
is going on as Rebel ALWAYS should receive moves in its permanent
brain. Exceptions are of course, the book opening phase and cases
of checkmate, stalemate, move repetition in other words in cases
when there is nothing to calculate.

Except for detecting a minor auto232 bug I found nothing suspect
at all. I have reported this bug to Chrilly.
