Indeed. The polyglotBook is written into the tourney file without quoting
it. This makes an empty string disappear completely, which cause the error
when the tourney file is read back.
The work-around is to specify a non-empty (and non-blank) name for the
book file, even if you don't use it.
Thanks for spotting this.
