I have let various versions of Crafty search this position for very long periods
of time in the past.  I've had it return what looks like a draw score at around
ply 21 or so, and then at the next ply the score will go back up and the line
will change a lot!  I never could figure out why this was.

BTW, there is a good line posted at the bottom of http://www.rebel.nl/db2.htm
for this position.  It looks like Fritz is following it fairly well so far, but
Crafty also looked to be following it when it found the drawscore, then it
changed its mind away from the line, and again the score started to rise. :(
