Hello Dan,

    Thanks for the reply.

   On the abort, I have not yet done my "due dilligence" in trying to
determine the cause of the abort, but the ascii output is appended below.  I
fiddled some with different buffer sizes and a few other knobs but always saw
essentially the same thing.   I hope to be able to spend enought time to say
something meaningful about the cause, but the size of pointers and ints would
be the leading suspect in the absense of other data.

   I have built gnugo on an older PA system, and it seems to run okay.
