I tried this on a pentium pro 200 (one cpu).  I get this:

Crafty has two goals working here.  (1) with an outside passed pawn, it wants
to trade material.  This is all about getting queens off + as much else as it
can.  (2) advancing the passed pawn.  It likes Rf1 until the 8 minute mark
(this takes about 4 minutes on my notebook, 1:30 on my quad xeon) where it
decides that advancing the pawn accomplishes _both_ (it sees queens coming
off).
