Subject: Serious Fruit problem under Fritz GUI: is this fixed or not?

From fruit site:

"There is a bug in the new Fritz9-GUI and in the latest Update of Fritz8-GUI
(namely an update from September 9th 2005) which leads to the effect that Fruit
plays with history pruning disabled. That leads to a huge strength drop as some
users reported. The bug happens if you open the Engine Properties windows and
close it with "OK". After that Fritz always sends history pruning false to the
engine regardless which option you choose. Even clicking on "Defaults" has no
effect.

Chessbase has confirmed that bug and will fix it (hopefully soon) so far I
suggest either to use the Fritz 8- GUI from Januar 2005 or to never touch the
UCI-Parameters (it appears Fruit is working correctly in case you just load it
without changing the UCI-Options)."

Why should there be problem just with Fruit? Other engines have a lot more UCI
parameters - are they working correct?

(My Fritz9 gui is dated 11.10.2005)
