Gull (Linux) occasionally crashes (sig 11) #2

Gull (Linux) occasionally crashes, line 3033 Gull.cpp

Next->pst += Pst(IRook(me),rnew) - Pst(IRook(me),rold);

The problem is that do_move is called with a bogus move=0x7FFF value for whatever reason. This triggers the IsCastling conditional with to = from = 63. This results in rold being uninitialized, causing Gull to crash. The crash occurs in code that is not Linux specific.

This appears to be a copy-and-paste bug in gen_captures (s/PushE/PushW). This bug also affects the Windows version of Gull 3, although does not seem to cause it to crash. Fixed in be0a079.
