No, I tried this just after turning on my computer. I read Ed's reply, opened
Fritz and saw that Pro Deo was already chosen so I set it to Infinite Analysis.
Sure enough the results were different from those in CP. However, when I
deliberately loaded the Pro Deo engine (remember the Clear Hash option is set to
Always anyhow), even though it was already chosen, its results matched those of
CP.

I also just tested this now, and get the same screwy results if I don't reload
the engine.
