Subject: Question about Qsearch

Hello.

My question sure is a little dumb, but anyway....

When in Qsearch a check occurs, and the opponent can not come out of the check
(cause he only tries capture moves!) a position is evaluated to be mate,
although this is not right.
I am worried about this, but looking at the play of my program, it seems to
never occur.
In normal search, when a check comes, I extend. I also extend on the way to the
Qsearch. But if I am really in Qsearch I seem to ignore the problem.

Is it a problem or am I seeing Ghosts?
