I do not know if you have a bug.

My qsearch is different than your qsearch and my evaluation is different so we
search different trees.

I also limit my qsearch to 7 plies but I do not think that this is the reason
for the different results.

the limit was done not to prevent cases when 98% of the time is in qsearch but
to prevent caes when it needs a long time to finish the first ply.

Maybe I may get a small gain by avoiding that limit but I do not plan to do it.
