It depends. When you have chico.exe running, does equity.exe tell you it cannot launch when you try? If so, it is a short sighted programming error. Quite common to prevent multiple instances of your app from running together, but if they are separate licenses or otherwise packaged as different products, it just means the programmer didn't think it through.
If you do not get the error until you try to log on, then it most likely means both clients are contacting the same server(s).
They may still be separate poker networks, but still connect to some 3rd party managed server farm and have a dev/design issue.
I haven't looked at either client so I am just guessing based on my experience with developing client server apps.
