  I think that the actual problem was more on KGS side - as far
as I know LeGoBot did not return any status at all (it does not
implement final_status_list command from what its author said).
The problem occured because tlsBot returned the status and LeGoBot not.
I would assume that the KGS engine interprets this as 'all stones
live' which led to a disagreement.

  Cheers,
