The problem does not exist in Arena using the adapter.  It is the Chessbase GUI
that is sending the "new" command.  Odd Gunnar could set the adapter to ignore
"new" but then the valid "new" commands would not reach Crafty either.

In my view Crafty plays "best" as a winboard or xboard engine.  Other playing
formats can be utilized for "fun" purposes - but results should be viewed with a
grain of salt and heavily discounted.
