It is really a problem in Crafty.  I have, for years, had it display
all shallow "mate" scores.  The reason is that in bullet ICC games, I
get log files with no info due to the "noise" setting.  And I can't tell
whether it is winning or losing when it gets into EGTB games.  Unfortunately
it is possible for it to find one mate and switch to a draw egtb move, but the
mate gets displayed while the draw does not because it doesn't satisfy the
noise limit.  It always _plays_ the correct move, but the log file and
analysis window doesn't always show the right thing.

I have fixed this.
