That looks almost familiar.  Guildenstern only generates legal moves, and
I recently found a bug where an illegal move is generated due to a
revealed attack along the rank after an ep capture.  The code was simply
not set up to handle two pieces moving off a rank at once like that.

I checked -- that bug had been in there since my very first version.
I'm hoping this accounts for most of the unexplained crashes I've had
over the years....  :)
