GNOME 981009, highscore bugfix

[Kang-Jin Lee <lee tengu arco de>]

Hi,

when playing games from gnome-games package, the games will segfault
if you make it into already populated high score list.
gnome-libs/libgnome/gnome-score.c, gnome_score_log() reads the rank from
stdout and g_message() seems to write to stdout, if syslogd is not
set up to collect g_message() output. This leads to garbled rank value
and it leads to segfault in gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-scores.c,
gnome_scores_set_current_player().

Is there a reason to communicate via stdin/stdout instead of any other
file handle?

Anyway, here is a workaround.
