Well, gomorra can't see if there is a possibility to win through seki. I need 
to add some code for recognizing it. Passing before resigning was just a quick 
hack that took about 5 minutes to integrate. 
I agree, as we all saw, that this hack can lead to undeserved wins. If you 
Nick, are able to do so with your admin power, feel free to assign the game as 
a win for pachi.

Concerning "it's not optimal": Getting an undeserved win is not bad, but i also 
won't call it optimal ;)
And of course it wasn't deliberate, I never thought about a possibility to win 
with this behaviour if there is not a seki..
