Yes, there's a bug in Dna that camb is working on.  Any attempts to
do a "show" on dna games results in those 3 msgs, I'm sorry.

And the way "all" works is that it does something like

"for each game directory, X, invoke
        '$X @args'
"

normally, "all show xyz next" will only return boards that 'xyz next'
matches, but when it tries 'dna show xyz next' it burps.

We're working on it.
