Well, I can see why you "bug1" file crashes due to issue 134, but I can't 
reproduce
the other one. Please see if you have more information in the log or the 
stacktrace.

it is strange, when i first played the game it seems like the engine stopped at 
this
point, i could see that in the cpu usage.Now when i load the game again i have 
no
problems. It is not the first time that this happens to me. Sorry can't help you
more...not a programmer or something like that.

Ok, just if it happens again, please look in the view menu -> view log, and see 
if
the engine sends any information.

Hm, I came to that the bug must be idle_add related.

All UI stuff in PyChess is run through gobject.idle_add, to protect it
against threads.
So I searched google for idle_add freeze
http://www.google.com/search?q=idle_add+freeze and I actually got more
hits than I'd expected.

It seems that people have solved the problem by "using" kernel 2.4 for
debian users:
> if [ -f /etc/debian-release ] ; then
>   export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
> fi

I wonder if it helps?
