It works now.
To add /firstProtocolVersion=1 and /secondProtocolVersion=1 to my winboard.ini in the lines where I call Bookthinker + Shredder does the trick. It prevents Bookthinker from coplaining about "ics -" and "ping 1".
Unfortunately my clipboard doesn't work anymore. I have to reboot and will post the games and debugs later.

What is strange is that AFAIK Winboard only sends "ping" if asked to do so by the engine. It should never send them to protover-1 engines, which don't answer the "protover 2" command.
I'd be interested in whole log files (all Winboard + BookThinker + PolyGlot).
By email, of course (zipped if possible).

It works also for BookThinker plus List 512 (plus Polyglot, off course)!

BookThinker sent a blank line to the engine.
Its like doing printf("\n") to the engine.

At least it shows the same behaviour (exiting) when using it with List+Bookthinker.

See Lance Perkins' post below to know how to get debug output from BookThinker.

OK, here is the output of the "debugview" tool. I have no idea what it does. This is a game Shredder+Bookthinker:



This was the last version of Polyglot. The output with Polyglot-experimental + List is identical.
Her is the corresponding wb.debug:
