Subject: bug in Novag Star Diamond

Has anyone else had this problem?  Any ideas on it?  Should I notify Novag?  The
computer is still in warranty.

I'm reading Fine's Basic Chess Endings and use the computer to follow along.  On
page 6, I set up the position (W) Kg6 Ne6 Nd6 (B) Kg8 and the computer instantly
said "draw in 5."  It would not permit me to make any moves.  Then I discovered
that it will do the same with any 2 knight setup, regardless of who is to move.

The only glimmer of hope is adding up a bogus white/black pawn position, say (W)
a2 (B) a3. Then I can go through the analysis.

This looks like a bug.
