Thanks guys,
this was the output of Kiwi 0.4c:

 ...
 8/11 +18.72  00:00    147467  g8=Q Kb5 h7 a3 Qb3+ Ka6 Qxa3+ Kb7 h8=Q Kc7
 9/ 0     M6  00:00    395081  g8=Q Kb5 h7 a3 h8=Q Kb6 Qd5 Ka7 Qha8+ Kb6

and here's that of version 0.4d, which is almost identical but has different
extension settings (extends more):

 8/13 +18.72  00:00    123279  g8=Q Ka5 h7 a3 Qb3 Ka6 Qxa3+ Kb7 h8=Q Kc7
 9/ 0     M7  00:00    777467  g8=Q a3 h7 Ka7 h8=Q Kb6 Qd5 Ka6 Qha8+ Kb6

...so I suspected a bug... whew! 8-O
