Hello Paulo,
I'm not sure what problems Fritz 5.32 has with promotions.  Can you tell me?
When Chessbase says "Fritz 5.32 now mates with Bishop & Knight" they are saying
they fixed the problem it had with the KBNK ending.  I pointed out to them that
Fritz 5.32 was not able to mate with the King,Bishop & Knight vs the lone King
in January.  The latest SP1 update is supposed to have fixed that problem.  But
they still have problems with the endgame CD ROM.
