My engine just managed to lose what looked like a dead-drawn
endgame against a Crafty clone on ICC. I couldn't understand
what happened. I still don't know exactly, but it looks like
some kind of hashing/draw-by-rep/nullmove artifact ;)

But my program doesn't seem to be the only one that
gets funny on this position:
