I remember cases of a strange mistakes when programs without tablebases or Fritz6light with or without tablebases had no problem to see the right move. Fritz6b corrected this mistake but we do not know if it has not different problems. The results of Fritz6a-Fritz6b nunn matches of chessfun suggest that Fritz6a may be better inspite of the fact that we have not enough games. Uri
