Highly unlikely, I think.  It appears to me that no version of Lang's
programs before Genius 4 searched any lines deeper than the selective
search depth displayed in the search output.  I guess that Genius 4
solves the position in less than a second (even on an old and slow
computer like a 486), but that all older versions needs a long time
to see the mate.
