WB - TCBishop move problem

Hello group,
I was playing a game User v TCBishop and I mistakenly moved a Knight (Nd5) which was skewered to my King by a Queen, in other words, an illegal move. Strangely, WB and TCBishop actually allowed the move, a sort of self-made check !
Does the group consider this a bug of WB and/or TCBishop, or is this a well known problem because of compatibility ??
Fritz6a and its' respective GUI would not allow an illegal move of this nature, or if I was using WB on an ICS, an illegal move would not be allowed.
Perhaps, this is a coding feature that should be added to WB's system, automatically. Here is the game up to and including the move in question:
User - TCBishop_0045
Computer chess game
08.07.2000
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nxf7 Kxf7 5.d4 c5 6.dxc5 Qa5+ 7.Nc3 Qxc5 8.Be3 Qb4 Nd5 Line
The move 9. Nd5 does not have a 9. beside it, however, the move did register on the board.
Thx,
Sean

My Winboard won't allow that move. Goto the "Options" pulldown menu, then "General" and make sure "Test Legality" is checked (way at the bottom) and that should prevent that from happening again.
