please add the line "exit" and then a return..
===========================================
hash 256M
hashp 24M
cache 32M
show book
resign 6
log on
# tbpath=/home/roy/chess/TBs
# egtb
exit
# blank  space here - hit the return after exit or just leave this line here
=================================

not sure if this will fix it, but give it a shot...
