You are right - this causes problems. But, isn't it just a bug in the engine
(and possibly also a bug/misfeature in the GUI)?

BTW. In analyze mode (infinite search time) exiting the "analyze search" works
well with Shredder 5, while, as you stated, you are not allowed to return a move
while waiting for ponderhit or stop. But it is not too unlogical, IMHO. I guess
giving a move to WB while pondering and not received the expected move, is also
an error (I never tried it).
