Subject: Interesting endgame -- does any commercial program get it right?

Plaskett-Pinter ended in the following position
4k3/2r5/8/p1Pp4/1P1KpP2/2PpN3/6PP/8 w - -
when Plaskett resigned.

I've run half a dozen freeware engines (Der Bringer, Rebel Decade, Crafty, etc.)
on this position for half an hour and all of them show white with a two pawn
(approximately) advantage.

However, when I auto-play, black always wins.

Question: Does any commercial program get this right?
