Thanks for your fast reply.
I asked because I remember Dann Corbit's post about and movei of today still may
crash in a lot of cases like cases that the side not to move is in check.

It may be interesting to have some stability test and people may try to make the
free chess programs to crash by the right winboard commands and post
instructions how to do it so every programmer of new program may test his
program if it can crash with the same winboard commands.
