Yeah, right.  Another reason to "love" netscape.  When I did a cut and
paste, it somehow didn't copy the entire FEN string.  Leaving black with
another pawn on the queenside that changes everything.  Without the extra
pawn it isn't hard to see (IMHO)...  ie it is exactly what happens after
an outside passed pawn has been used to decoy the enemy king away too far.
