It must be an engine problem. All other engines under Fritz6(-GUI) for
understandable reasons don't consider Qf4.
I have all 3-, 4- and 5-man TBs installed, with them Fritz6a sticks to Qf4. If I
remove the Tablebase-entry from the chssbase.ini Fritz6a also does not consider
Qf4.
If it were a GUI-problem the other engines would have the same problem.
If you get the output below maybe the handling of 5-man-TBs has some bugs?

Did you use Fritz6 or Fritz6a? Maybe this also makes a difference?
