The last line _must_ be terminated with a CR/LF. Notepad often leaves these off the last line. I read the last line into the buffer, then wait for more input from winboard since there was no terminator. That stuffs the first move onto the end of the last command, which causes errors. Either make sure you have a CR/LF on the last line (exit is not needed as of the past 30+ versions) or else just have a blank line as the last one. Either way cures the problem totally.
