Re: [computer-go] computer go tournament

If two versions of kgsGtp are on the same login, that will cause huge
confusion because the server won't be able to tell them apart.
Furthermore, if they are set to reconnect after a logout, they will sit
there and force each other off the system, then a minute later the one
forced off will come back and force off the first! It kept announcing
itself because kgsGtp announces itself each time it enters a game, and
the two duelling clients were bouncing each other out all the time.

To sum it up: Please make sure this never happens. Only run one kgsGtp
at a time for one client! There isn't much I can do at the server to
stop this, when it sees "botnoidx" logged in, and it sees a new
"botnoidx" come in, all it can do it log out one and let the other in.
