Yes this position is an interresting test
I was a bit puzzling of the point.

Here is some nullmover output:

{0.20h6} 1284 0 2453 13976 1.Kh1 Kc8 2.Kg1 Kb8 {570}
{0.20h6}*1284 0 2455 13980 1.Kh1 Kc8 2.Kg1 Kb8 {570}

Nullmover's uses the PV on the stack now and since the search "stops" after 4
moves deep there's change of stackoverflow ... I think Nullmover can go really
far with this test :-)
