If I were you I would check under which conditions ERT outputs the peculiar
string "Checkmate !!".
When you look at my examples you can immediately see that it has NOTHING to do
with the engine, because it occurs with many different ones. It also is not an
issue with the UCI/WB adapter because the problem appears with native, WB and
UCI engines.

I am a bit amazed how apparently reluctant you are to fix problems. There is
also the old problem that Rebel claims mate one move to early which has not been
fixed, yet.
