Subject: Why can't Fritz count?

I gave Fritz 5.16 a position /p4K/P////k// W.  I think that I have that figured
out right.  Anyway, Fritz announces #14 after about 16 sec.  But when you go
through the moves it announces #13 twice, #10 twice,#8 followed by #9 etc.  It
jumps from #6 to #4 no matter what move I make in that position.  After that it
counts on down to mate properly.  It ends up with about a mate in 17.  What
causes this phenom ?  Crafty with the same position announces #17 on the first
move then while pondering it finds mate in 15.  After that it counts down by one
to mate.  That seems fairly normal.
