This has the property of raising alpha before calling qsearch(), thus
maybe giving some more cuts during qsearch(). The patch is equivalent
to the use of cycle detection inside qsearch() at depth 0, but is in
fact implemented by re-ordering code inside search(), which explains
the [0..4] bounds in the following tests.
