crafty.bin memory leak, when closing pychess with open tabs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use crafty engine to play itself (cravty vs. crafty)
2. at some point while crafty is playing crafty, close the main window
3. crafty.bin will remain running and hogging resources

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
close pychess, instead we get a memory leak
(if you close the tab, then the window your fine, but closing the whole
window while the tab is still there causes issues)

What version of the product are you using?
0.6.1

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?
tarballed

Please provide any additional information below.
ubuntu 7.10

Please attach the latest pychess logfile from the hidden folder, in your
homedirectory, named .pychess
 does NOT exist, i only have a png image in that folder thats blank

Strange. Crafty is forked as pty, so the kernel should kill it when pychess 
dies.
Perhaps pychess didn't die for real..
Does this happen every time, or only this time where crafty crashed?

For the log, you are right. The location is only for svn releases. On your 
system the
log should be at ~/.pychess.log

Just wondering, can you reproduce this in Philidor?
I'm unable to do so.
