Subject: Why don't Hiarcs7,32 solve this position with Namilov 5 man bases?

Chess Tiger solves this instantly showing a draw with White to move. Interesting
that my Hiarcs 7.32 can't solve it and they both are using the 5 man
Namilov bases. Hiarcs shows a score of 1.16 after thinking 10 min. but Tiger
will move instantly and shows a draw 0.00

I checked to make sure Hiarcs has endgame databases checked and the ini.file
shows the correct path. Please note that Hiarcs does solve most of the 5 man
problems but there are a few problems like this one when there is a draw
involved, then Hiarcs will just keep thinking on the position when it is a dead
draw and it don't show 0.00 after thinking over 10 min.

Why does my Hiarcs act this way? Do any of you have similiar problems with your
Hiarcs?

Sorry i didn't post a diagram as this is my first time and didnt bother to find
out how it's done as i was pressed for time at the moment. Maybe someone would
be kind and describe how to post a chess diagram, i would appreciate it very
much! I posted the Fen and the ASCII.

Thankyou in advance for any help to my problem with Hiarcs 7.32!

PS. For those who can't read the Fen, it's White to move and draw.

Best regards,
Terry
