  Some wb2 engines crash (a few times) when loading in Arena. This has happened
also to Averno. Reading Averno's log file, it seems that Arena doesn't listen to
the program's 'feature done = 0' not the rest of the feature commands. Then
Arena assumes it's wb1 and starts sending commands my engine does not
understand, some of them cause the engine to crash. So I can't let the computer
running long tournaments automated, I must check it twice a day and most of the
time an engine has lost on time and Arena is also hung.
  My configuration: Athlon MP 2400, two processors, windows XP, ponder on.
