I guess the error message in XBoard's popup is a bit cryptic here because
of a mismatch in locales. Apparently there is no Portugese translation of
XBoard, but the 'not found' error message the system produces for the
attempt to launch Fairy-Max is in Portugese: "209 <first : fairymax:
Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado". So XBoard does not recogise it,
and fails to produce the usual "Startup failure on fairymax" error popup.
It only discovers the problem later, when it tries to write commands to
the engine that was never started through the connecting pipe.

209 <first : fairymax: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
