I believe that the bug happened only after failing low on Rf5.

The logfiles do not give a score for Rd1 so I believe that the bug is not
relevant for Rd1

The last line of the logfile of game 1 begins with
11(6)[Rf5](-260)v [find a move]

I never see the words find a move in deeper blue in other cases and it suggests
that the bug happened only after Deeper blue failed low.

The line for Rd1 is also a short line when previous lines are long lines so I
trust the analysis of deeper blue at depth<17.
