Subject: Does crafty stop calculating SEE after capturing a king?

I do not see when it happens in crafty and note that it is not only a question
of speed when it is not clear what is faster and if I understand correctly
crafty may be wrong when a sequence of captures that is finished in trading
kings happens and it may happen in the endgames.

[D]8/5r2/5k2/3R1p2/5K2/8/8/8 w - - 0 1

Rxf5+ is a good capture but based on SEE that let trading kings it can be
pruned.
