I do not know but it seems that the problem is with Deep Junior7 and not with
Junior7.
I do not believe that Junior7 was not tested in comp-comp.
I can see in chessfun's rating list that Junior7 is better than Junior6.
My Junior7 could not reproduce the strange evaluations of Deep Junior7 so I
suspect that Deep Junior7 has some bugs and was not tested.
