[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27772] Board and holdings out of sync

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #27772 (project xboard):

Sure it can be worked around, but it's normally a good thing to have a closer
look to strange behaviour. There could be more serious things behind it.

As I see the bell is always sent on a seperate new line just before the
board:

^Mfics%
^M<b1> game 260 white [BBRQ] black [PN] <- WB
^Mfics% ^G
^M<12> ---rr--- -pp---pk p-n--pp- ---pb--N ---P---- --P---P- PP---PPP
RNB-Q-K- B -1 0 0 0 0 0 260 Horkko tiberiansun 0 1 0 51 27 21 11 26 N/f4-h5
(0:01) Nxh5 0 1 183

Seems the holding string before a capture kills the next line. Good thing
FICS even sends "^Mfics%" with "bell 0", otherwise the <12> line might have
been removed.

So it should be safe to keep that (at least with FICS).
