Actually, it turns out the 29 hours comes from the 6man.txt file from
chessmaster, presumably generated by Johan de Koning on an AMD 1.3GHz.  For the
KRBKRB ending the time is 35 hours on the same hardware, and my guess would be
that the Nalimov timings should be much closer for the latter ending than
KQQKQQ.
