Dan,
I don't think 8.g3 is opening theory, because after
1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Nge2 e6 4. d4 d5 5. exd5 exd5 6. dxc5, usual seems to be
6...d4 7.Ne4 (from very few games in the Big Database '99). Some programs which
I have run for about 20 seconds each, didn't plan 8.g3. That a program plays a
fianchetto as a result of it's calculation, is seldom but quite possible and
happens every now and then.
But it may be part of the book which CM7 used. This should be easy to tell: If
the program plays the move immediatly, without showing data from a search
process before, it's a book move. So if you enter the moves until 7...Be7 again,
and start CM7, you will see that I think.

Regards,
M.Scheidl
