The main cause of the hangs are comunication failures, sometimes the connection
gets lost while it's the opponents turn. As there is no communication it takes a
long time before the connection times out and things are restarted. Another
problem is resuming adjourned games, I have seen the engine sometimes not
getting started. It's difficult to debug because it's being played alot.
