Yace and flags

Yace is a very strong and interesting program. However, I have spotted something peculiar. When playing X-moves in Y-mins,(for example: 40 moves in 60 mins.) most of the time, Yace's flag falls. Winboard reports this as "White's flag fell, or Black's flag fell." I have the 2nd release of Yace from Mr. Corbit's site.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

I've had the same experience with both releases. I don't think x moves in x minutes is fully implemented yet. It appears as though Game/x is the best option. Yace don't utilize increment either as far as I know.
Best wishes...

yes, you are right!
Yace doesn't supported this mode , i think!
if this mode is neccessary, nothing doing, or without flags option under WB using!

The flag definetly shouldn't fall. There seems to be a variable delay
when communicating with winboard. I had a small saftey margin, that was
obviously too small. The next version will use one second saftey margin.
In three games (40 moves, 1 min), the flag didn't fall, and there was
always more than 0.7 sec of the saftey margin left. (Crafty's flag fell
twice in the three games).
