Hello Christophe,
With the following position here is what happens:
[D]1n2kb2/8/8/8/8/8/8/2B1KB2 w - - 0 1

I get this in the statistics box:

Score: 0.00 depth 43
Bb5+

If I clear out the path to the six man tablebase(KBBKBN) I get the normal search
statistics.  Of course I only have this one 6man tablebase.
