To confirm your findings I followed the idea of manually playing Deep Fritz's
moves. Then let Rebel think and enter its own choices at 40/1:00 tournament
mode, like you on an Athlon 900. For Fritz I entered the moves immediately until
it went out of book on move 12. Here the log file had Deep Fritz moving
Nf3 after 193 seconds so I entered the move at 90 seconds to compensate for the
machine differences. Sure enough Rebel played not Rg8 but d6. It had O-O way
down on the 18th iteration.

To more accurately discover what the auto/manual inconsistency is, a 40/2 manual
input of Fritz's moves, using identical times as the pgn, on a 450 AMD through
DOS is required. DOS because that is what SSDF is using for Rebel.
