Mine is wrong here.  The static evaluation is +.63.  It jumps quite a bit, but
then
slowly settles back down to a draw.  Crafty likes this because of some recent
changes
to the endgame code to better detect split vs connected passers...

material evaluation.................   0.00
development.........................   0.00
pawn evaluation.....................  -2.11
passed pawn evaluation..............   0.06
passed pawn race evaluation.........   0.00
king safety evaluation..............   0.00
interactive piece evaluation........   2.68
total evaluation....................   0.63
