Follow-up Comment #1, bug #48571 (project xboard): I looked again at it and here's what I realized:
I went to the Konsole and I gave "export LANG=C" (for switching Konsole interface -> English). The I gave "xboard" and indeed XBoard loaded in memory successfully and informed me that couldn't load fairymax. Well...fair enough that couldn't find fairymax, because I don't have it installed. :-) Then I loaded GNU Chess as the 1st (or the 2nd) engine, without any crash or error message. Problem solved for the moment. Then I returned my Konsole to my mother language (Greek) again (giving "export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8") and I retried. The problem remains and XBoard keeps crashing while loading GNU Chess. Seems the problem is happening at non-English locales???
