Could be a hashing bug.  Could be an instance of doing a null-move search where
it is bad, as this position is all about zugzwang.  I turn it completely off in
pawn-only endings, but in theory you could do null-move search with some sort of
verification process, and if the verification process fails in this position,
you will almost never find the right move...
