From memory, when something goes wrong (engine crash?), the client
incorrectly sends the previous move. This then causes the server to
boot the bot due to an illegal move. Everything then shuts down,
leaving a confused programmer :)

I have observed a few times that cgosGtp.kit sends a command to my
engine, but my engine does not receive it. I am wondering if anyone
else has seen such behavior, and can tell me how it happens.
Some possibly relevant background info:
- I am shamelessly stealing the GTP code (and pondering code)
from Fuego
- Um, thanks Martin!
- Running on Vista
- I invoke as follows: tclkitsh cgosGtp.kit -c cgos-config.txt -k
Quit.txt 1>log.txt
- the file log.txt ends with some command, like 'genmove w'
- my engine's log of commands received ends with the previous
command, like 'time_left w 70 0'
- The behavior is intermittent. Out of almost 400 games, I have
seen it 3 times.
The result of this state is that my engine is pondering, and
cgosGTP.kit is waiting for the engine to respond.
This will continue until CGOS times out the game.
Now, losing the game on time doesn't bother me. It bothers me that
the hang-up between my engine and cgosGtp.kit will persist, so my
engine *never* plays another game until I restart. This wastes a
whole night.
Any ideas?
