The C.A.P. record for this position (looks like a Rebel generated one) says:
pv e5 dxe5 Rf6+ Kg7
with a depth of 13 ply and a ce of 146.

The alternate evaluation is:
ce 173
pv e5 dxe5 Rf6+ Kg7 Rd6 Qf7 Qxf7+ Kxf7 Rxh6 Bg4 Nf6 Nxc4 Nxh5 e4 Nf6
and appears to be crafty generated.

What does your crafty say if you let it run longer?  Did you fix the sign bug on
the character array?  There is one other thing that needs attention in the 17.3
sources also:
This is clearly a bug.  The macro Captured can never yield a negative number.
	  Captured (move) != -king &&
valid.c(206)        : Warning 650: Constant out of range for operator '!='

Here is the actual definition:
CHESS.H ( 1058): #define Captured(a)         (((a)>>15)&7)

If you have fixed both problems, what answer do you get with your crafty when
allowed to run a long time on the position?
