Without the log file it is hard to determine exactly what happened - I can't
repeat it under winboard - the Cb gui does get it wrong - I'm not sure of the
term "setup game" and what that implies either - so it's either user error,
crafty bug, winboard bug and\or Cb bug - I should have said "analyzed it
correctly" and that's my user error ;>)
