Yes, something is clearly wrong.  As I said, the FRC version of Glaurung
is entirely untested, and it is very possible that it doesn't work very
well.  However, would like to think I am not quite stupid enough to not
even be able to write correct code for castling under Arena.  Are you sure
you compiled the right code?  You should *not* download the code from the
link on my homepage, that will just give you the code for the regular
(non-FRC) version of Glaurung.  Use the link in my previous post instead.

I now have a Windows binary (compiled with MinGW, I think) available for
download:

I haven't had the opportunity to test this myself, but I've been told that
it appears to work in Arena.
