Subject: Can your program avoid BxN?

This position arose today in a game between Hiarcs 7.32 vs Century 3.2.
Although Hiarcs searched for 6 minutes on an Athlon 900 with 128M hash and it's
score dropped from the previous 0.87 to -0.56 it still could not resist the BxN
which I believe loses.  I think almost any move which saves the Bishop keeps
white alive.  Best is probably Kxb4 or Be3.  Crafty is very fast to avoid BxN.
Junior7 is slow but finds it in a little over 1 minute.
