On trying other engines the results are indeed 'interesting'. Under scid on
Linux on a 1GHz PIII ('out of the box' settings with no command-line arguments
or .rc files) I get:

After 7. h4

Comet B46 - hxg5, moving to c5 after 7 seconds and largely staying there with
occasional thoughts about Nd7;

Yace 0.99.50 - hxg5, moving to dxc4 after 18 seconds and oscillating between
dxc4, Nd7 and c5 thereafter.

After 8. Nh3

Comet B46 - hxg5, staying there (tested up to 5 minutes);

Yace 0.99.50 - ditto.
