Under Fritz 7 - the "The King" (CM9K) engine does see this B&K mate.  Under
Fritz 7, I believe it is the GUI that is using the Nalimov endgame tablebase.
"The King" does not "see" this mate under Fritz 8.  If that is true - there is
no change in "The King" but there is a change in the Fritz GUI.

I don't have Fritz 8, so I can not confirm.
