Subject: Stalemating swindle

[D] 7R/8/8/8/4k1p1/4p3/1r4rP/4R2K w - -

In this position (White against Ruffian 1.0.1 on a PIIIM/1.2GHz, 256MB RAM, 19MB
hash) I had been angling for stalemate tricks for some time and finally saw my
chance:

60. Rh3 gxh3
61. Rxe3+

It took a _long_ time (over 40 seconds) for Ruffian to realise that this
position was drawn (evaluation dropping from ~-6.5 to 0.00). How long does it
take other programs?
