Subject: Does your program resign here? (or better: is it evaluated correctly?)

This is most probably a well known position (pasted below). But ruffian resigns
here (5 min/game PIII 450 64MB hash). I think this kind of situation can be
easily dealt with: if the evaluation score for the initial position is equal to
that, after 25 ply (for instance) for the best line, than the score for that
position should set to 0.00. In other words, if the engine can't make any
progress after a certain number of moves, it is draw; no mather how inbalanced
the material is for both sides.
