[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27642] Clock jumps strangely in engine mode

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27642 (project xboard):

"-niceEngines 20" doesn't change anything.
You have to try several times. Sometimes the 2nd second
is almost of normal length and sometimes it's almost
completely skipped.

If your clock is already at less than 10secs ,say 8.3
after engine moves your clock jumps to 7.9 then remains there
for a short time then jumps to 6.9 then continues running normally in 0.1
decrements.
Looks almost as if the clock isn't drawn to the screen for a short time after
engine has moved.

Probably related: In xboard 4.2.7 an -inc gets added to your
clock right after your move. With the new xboard, the inc is added to your
clock after the engine has moved.

Additionally I just saw this:
xboard -tc 0 -inc 20
xboard: bad timeControl option 0
Segmentation fault

Again, 4.2.7 handles this case correctly.
