Subject: wb2uci+chessbase gui question

Hi, I have the following problem under fritz 8 gui+wb2uci, most probably because
I lack any knowledge about uci.

White:me;),Black:engine,pondering on, lets play some moves:

1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. h3
...engine is now out of book, after some thinking it plays d6 and starts to
ponder Nf3, printing some output like
...
8 -2 0 5006 g1f3 d6e5 f3e5 b8d7 d2d4 d7e5
9 -2 0 9592 g1f3 d6e5 f3e5 b8d7 d2d4 d7e5 d4e5
10 -2 0 17050 g1f3 d6e5 f3e5 b8d7 d2d4 d7e5 d4e5 c8f5
11 -2 100 259657 g1f3 d6e5 f3e5 b8d7 d2d4 d7e5 d4e5 c8f5 g2g4
....
(to be precise:g1f3 is the expected move and possible replies are being
evaluated, the output pv is always <....> <expected move from the opponent>
<best reply> <the rest...>;wb2uci gets the output and converts it to uci)

Now:when I play a move different from Nf3, everything seems to be ok. If I play
Nf3, engine plays dxe5 and starts to ponder Nf3xe5(correctly,as far as I can
tell). But no output can be seen in gui output window. Gui obviously receives
output from engine, because it changes information about depth and nps, but it
doesn't print principal variations for those depths. And if I play Nf3xe5, it
plays the correct answer(based on pondering) with score 0.01/depth 1, continuing
to ponder next move still with no output. If I play move that's different from
pondered move, output is ok again.

Thanks for any comments.
