Abelone - moving 4 marbles???

[unic <unic@df.lth.se>]

Hi,

my opponent just moved 4 marbles in our Abelone games... according to the
rules of Abelone, both as I've learned them, and as they are given on the
server's webpage ( http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/abalone.html ), you're
only allowed to move up to 3 marbles at once.

Yet, my opponent just moved 4 and pushed 3 of mine, one of them off the
board... what does this give?  Have we been playing assuming different
rules?  I've played and planned according to the rules as I know them, and
as given on the web page.

How do we resolve that?  Is this a known bug of the server?  Or even an
intended, but undocumented feature?
