All Programs have little peculiarities in certain positions where they will make
such blunders. Most of the time a programmer can take some sample games and
correct the problem by duplicating the position and finding the problem. I send
most such games to the programmers as well but normally by e-mail to ensure that
they get it. Often times they only post here sporadically and he may not see the
post.
