Hi Tord,

noticed that, when using the remote Glaurung server on my mac in analyse mode, sometimes (after several moves stepping forward/backward in a pgn-file) the wrong side (or position) gets analysed.

At the screenshot black moved 27. ..Na4 and a white move should have been now calculated. But Glaurung (server engine) still continues for black.

Beside this no problems (voted) on iPod touch.

Hi all,

Thanks for voting. I'm glad most people don't see any major bugs, but of course the problem is still sufficiently widespread that fixing it has a high priority. Unfortunately, I still haven't managed to reproduce. Sigh. :(

Right now, I wish I'd kept this program private.

1 sec/move, show analysis, book moves, and legal moves were off, full strength (2450), permanent brain off, xboard piece set

I have the game/position that causes the crash and it's reproducible on my 3Gs iPhone. I can send it to you, if you want.

edit: I just emailed it to you.
Tord - I wonder if you've found the bug causing this yet? I still get crashes... Thanks!
