Subject: Test position (perpetual check)

This is a nice test position (analysis from one of my own games).

[D] 1k1r4/5p1p/BpQ1np2/3pp3/1P1q4/P7/3K4/R7 w - -

White is threatening mate in one.
Black can't do anything about it.

What do your programs do?
Do they play the losing Kc2, letting Black exchange Queens?

Or do they play the drawing move Ke1!, sacrificing the rook with check.
After Ke1, the resulting position is a draw, since Black has to give
a perpetual check (otherwise White mates).
