Vincent assures me that this particular type of P4 is hopeless for chess. :-/ 01:20 0 0 4259180 (0) 10 0.089 Qg4-h4 Bf6xg5 Qh4xg5 f7-f6 Qg5-h5 Qc7-e7 Rf1-e1 e6-e5 f2-f4 e5-e4 f4-f5 Qe7-e5 It actually found it after 2 seconds, but changed its mind to Bf6. Then it changed its mind again. Love chess programs. :) Crafty hasn't found it after nearly 5 minutes of searching, but I'm not using the latest version (I'm on 18.7), so I don't know what difference this makes.
