render.c has so many magic numbers in it that it's virtually
impossible to change the board aspect ratio - 

search for:

82, 108, 79, 76 for starters (BOARD_HEIGHT, BOARD_WIDTH, (BOARD_HEIGHT
- 3), (BOARD_HEIGHT - 6). There are *lots* of other integers which I
suspect are related to the board dimensions. After replacing those and
still getting core-dumps, I gave up, because I simply can't guess
where the number come from.

I have no idea why there's 44, 35, 99, you name it. It's a nightmare
of fixed constants which I assume are related to board dimensions.

For the moment, the board has to remain 82x108 until someone has the time
and energy to convert *all* of these to #defines based on the two
fundamental dimensions.

I've committed a version of boarddim.h with the height forced to 82
