a serious bug in hokus-pokus engine

[Uri Blass]

It seems that when hokus-pokus fail low it can make stupid move because it does not stop at the end of the iteration.
Here is an example from a game I played against it without a queen

Hokpok played the move Bxd3 and not Nf6 for no logical reason.

Here is the analysis and I wonder if it is not better for it not to trust change of the score if it did not finish the iteration.

another example from analysis how to beat it without a queen at 15 minutes/40 moves that is the ccrl long time control.
see the stupid Nf6
unfortunately I am not sure if it is going to fall for it in the specific time control
