I am not that sure why program stopped searching but this position is quick
exceptional. In dispite of many heavy pieces on it, it have limited number of
moves and because of this is can be solved by every program. Many programs have
moves limit at 100. The most surprising was the time. At 7 moves brute force it
took only 16 sec. to say: "mate not found". In 8 move (brute force) mate was
found in only 0.32 sec.

Celeron 600Mhz. No hash.
