Regressions:
owl:6           FAIL 0 [1 B5]
nngs3:740       PASS D5 [!F2]
nngs4:740       pass (fails in CVS)

Node counts:
Reading nodes reduced by 0.2%, i.e. totally insignificant.

As discussed recently on the list owl:6 is incorrect so what's
reported as a FAIL is in fact a PASS. The reading still doesn't
understand all intricacies in the position but is closer after the
patch than before.
