It's shouldn't be. Most of the problems I think with the Winboard adaptor relate
to actually playing a game not analyze of a position. Some of the problems can
be dealt with (ignoring the new sent by fritz which smarthink does but i doubt
ruffian does) others cannot (strange  moves not considered by the engines),which
perhaps explains why you saw this
