I didn't check the messages sent by XBoard but I just tried with:

 xboard -firstChessProgram gnuchess -secondChessProgram fairymax

And then I launched a new game in two machines mode with 1 second per
move. In this game, each program had 1 second to play and both programs
followed this rule. Thus I'd say they both knew they only had 1 second
per move. Am I missing something ? I'll report the bug upstream if you
confirm the bug.

Thanks,
Vincent
