Re: [Bug-XBoard] xboard doesn't detect a server side disconnection in ics-mode

[H.G. Muller]

Does this also happen in the latest version of the  v4.9.x branch of the 
repository at hgm.nubati.net ?

There is a commit in there that solves a problem of not detecting an 
engine crash in the GTK  build,
which sounds similar to not detecting the termination of an icshelper. I 
have not pushed that to
Savanah yet.
