I haven't looked into details, but KGSgtp handles free handicap not in a proper
way.  Stones must not appear as moves (`B[..]'), but be added with AB property:
`AB[..][..]...' in the same node where `HA[]' property is.  Sorry, I'm in hurry
now and cannot find the address of KGSgtp author, but the best you can do is to
inform him about this problem.
