When looking closer at the position, the possible exchange at d5 and the other
available captures in this position are probably the cause of the fat qsearch.
Just try to build a tree of all possible sequences. As there are also other
captures in the position, almost all of them will be searched, possibly ending
up in the same end position.

As Baron doesn't limit qsearch either, I guess the use of transposition tables
are helping Baron in limiting the size of the qsearch. I'll try the position
this evening without the hashtables in qsearch ... I'll see (and post :-) ) what
happens.
