Arasan 7.4 seems to have a bug where it wants to avoid a draw by insufficient
material at all costs - even at the expense of losing!?. In the following
position, instead of capturing the black pawn the white king stalked it down the
h file, fled toward the center of the board and then resigned when it could no
longer stop the pawn.
