I don't know about that, fact is: on my machine, like always when someone like
Ricardo complaints about a "BUG", everything is fine. 1.Ke2 (#6) Kh1 2.f1-Q+
(#5) and so on, no draw. In opposite to the SUPPOSED installed 5-man, *I* really
have them installed.

I wonder if these "bug" resports will ever end...I am feeling like Don
Quixote...
