Subject: Winboard problem (maybe Delphi only )

Hi all,

I have found some strange problem in my engine wich only happens every now and
then.

Somewhere in the middle of a game, winboard will report "first engine (c:\xinix
) exited unexpectedly".

I have enabled my interface however and I see my engine is still running nicely,
but winboard doesn't recieve it's output anymore ( Normally if I start writing
to winboard without being started as a winboard engine it will immediately crash
)

If I press OK (in the winboard dialog with the error) I see my engine recieving
a quit and it nicely quits.

I use "read" to read from winboard and "writeln" with a "flush" to write. (Both
from or to the standard in/out)

Has anybody seen this happen before ? Is it possible to break an anonymous pipe
in 1 direction only anyway ?

cheers,

Tony

PS Delphi 5, windows xp
