I tried this on HIARCS 7.0 for a day, and it found Bxd6!
at 39 seconds and held it for the rest of the day.

HIARCS 7.0 Mac on 867 MHz G4, OS 9.2.1, 18.8 hours

r2q3r/pp1k1pb1/3p3p/3P3n/5Bbp/2N5/PPPQN1P1/2K2R1R w - - 0 1 bm Bxd6;

   15 sec   1.1 mN  07   1.Nd4 Qe7 Ncb5 Nxf4 Qxf4 h5 Kb1 a6 =   60
   39 sec   3.3 mN  08   1.Bxd6 Kxd6 Rxf7 Qe8 Rxg7 Bc8 Qd4 Nxg7 Qxg7  =  132
 1831 sec   157 mN  10   1.Bxd6 f5 Bh2 Qg5 Nf4 Ng3 Bxg3 hxg3 Qe3 Rhe8 =  142
 8252 sec   701 mN  12   1.Bxd6 f5 Bh2 Qg5 Nf4 Rac8 Nxh5 Bxc3 =  140
67838 sec  1676 mN  12   1.Bxd6 f5 Bh2 Qg5 Nf4 Ng3 Bxg3 hxg3 Qe3 Rhe8  =  144

I also tried MacChess for a trillion nodes (48 hours) with the same result.
