Junior 6a does *not* have this problem and it is of course using the same set of
tablebases that Fritz 6e is.  I have loaded only the first of the 4 Nalimov CD's
onto my laptop (to conserve space).  Junior 6a, after 4 seconds on my PIII-500
sees that Bf3 is the right move (and a score very close to 0.00).  Fritz 6e does
not, as Uri states.

So, using just the TBs that come with the Fritz 6 CD or (in my case) installing
only one of the 4 TB set that comes with the endgame turbo collection -- both
cause the problem with Fritz to show.
