It happens. But in long and serious games, the anti-trojan stuff is always
turned off by me, manually. It is really important for blitz games, where
the depth is not sufficient to avoid the mate when it is possible... On fast
hardware, I'd probably turn it off all the time, in fact... Except for bullet
games which is really the only place it had trouble with this before (2 1 games
for example).
