Which is (of course) a prefectly valid result.

I would prefer a more specific diagnosis (e.g. 'Too many pieces -- count > 32'
or 'Too many black queens -- count > 9' or something of that nature.  But
diagnosic+failre is one of the two ideal situations (the other being processing
the position normally for "extended" problem solving.  Some of Leonid's
fascinating positions along with Venton Abillo's positions are not always
legal).
