I get almost the identical thing on my Athlon 900Mhz.  I measured it to be
almost 2.5x faster than a K6-2-450.  My machine always finds d6 at 1:25 and
plays 12....d6 at 1:48 (set for 40/1hour).  Perhaps it was accidentally forced
to move early?  In any case it is strange that Century would even consider such
a move.  But it's not the only strange move I've seen Century make.
