The question I have is rather general. At what point a program searches to see if it is going to lose its king?! Is there such a thing at all(like Will suggested)?! In the given situation I do not think tablebases would have helped. However, I have another example (that I remember) which would definitely go under the tablebases jurisdiction, as you suggest.
