Yes, although I don't know of course if you are referring to the same bug of
course (or mis-feature actually).

Junior usually jumps some in depth using its own definition of depth early -
typical sequence : 6-9-12-14-16-17-18 etc.

I don't know if Junior uses some usual definition of depth, but at least the
branch factor follows what can be expected.

But after 4 or 5 hours you'll often get the unexpected jump - following the
above sequence: 18-19-20-21-24, where the 24 will never get resolved (or at
least I never had the patience to wait for it).

This probably limits usefulness of Junior sincerely for people interested in
long-time analysis.
