Subject: Are any programs good at analyzing closed positions?

It seems most programs are getting better and better at avoiding blocked
positions.  Does that mean that are getting worse and worse at analyzing blocked
positions that are presented to them?

In other words, if I want to use a computer to help analyze my own human - human
games in which I might get into very closed positions on purpose, and where
trying my best to unblock it might not be the best thing to do, is a computer
any use to me here?  Is it just going to come up with unblocking moves no matter
what, or is there any program that can do a decent analysis of such positions?
(Positions that the computer would never find itself in had it played the game)
