I don't think it is a "juicy scandal."  I simply asked some questions and
also pointed out that giving Crafty a "new" command after each move and then
resetting the board for the next move is really going to defeat a lot of code
I have developed, and it hurts significantly.

I'd be happy to produce some output showing this if anyone is interested.  Now
the only question is exactly when/where is this stuff being done?  IE only in
the winboard engine interface they released, or in the normal fritz 5 engine
interface as well.

I'm somewhat unhappy with the fact that when they did the modifications to
crafty to make it work as an engine, they also removed the logging facility so
that now it is difficult to debug end-user problems and impossible to verify
what is going on with this latest revelation...

This has also been discussed here (It was first revealed here by Heiko in fact).
