After upgrading from Etch to Lenny, eboard stopped working on PowerPC.
Since it works fine on x86, my guess is that there is maybe an
endianness issue somewhere in the networking code of eboard.

More exactly, it start as usual, but when connecting to a chess server,
it hangs and consume 100% CPU once the user have entered a user name.
Here an example of what I get:

|Server location: freechess.org   Server version : 1.25.17
|
|      If you are not a registered player, enter guest or a unique ID.
|             (If your return key does not work, use cntrl-J)
|
|login: 
|> guest
|
|Logging you in as "GuestDJMT"; you may use this name to play unrated games.
|(After logging in, do "help register" for more info on how to register.)
|
|Press return to enter the server as "GuestDJMT":

If I press 'return here, the screen draw an additionnal '>' on the next
line, and the window hangs (it cannot be closed except by pressing CTRL-C
twice in a console or by killing it).

Note that using xkill will close the window but the process will still
be consuming 100% CPU in the background.

I tried to run eboard with the options -log and -debug, but It didn't
gave much more information except confirming that it hangs somewhere
between when the username is asked and when the password is asked.

If you need any more information or want me to try a patch, just ask me.

Thank you,

Simon Valiquette
