Re: XBoard 4.9.0 release

Thanks Harm,

I gave it a try, and now loads correctly. Thanks.  But now when I save a 
new theme (testing out the new DataDir to ~~/ translation) XBoard now 
crashes :

XBoard: line 69:   889 Segmentation fault: 11

I did a backtrace  but I bet it's the translation that's giving us trouble:
