Hrm it works perfectly here on Linux...I don't remember chaning anything
between 10.0 and my version...perhaps you have the sjeng.rc file set up
wrong or something?

One thing I noticed in the docs is that SCID checks for 'crafty' before it
starts to send commands like 'setboard'.

This is wrong...it should send 'protover 2' and check which commands the engine
supports. Thats the whole point of Winboard protocol version 2. Right now
analysis with Sjeng will be suboptimal (forget everything after each move) just
because Sjeng is not crafty...
