Chess - I stumped a computer

Playing a computer on a 30 minute limit game, and muuuuum, i think i broke it!

It's been stuck for about 17 minutes and hasnt made a move, it keeps thinking and thinking but not a move can be seen. It is playing black.

White has moved d2-d4
Black has moved d7-d5
White has moved e2-e3
Black has moved Nb8-c6
White has moved Bf1-b5
Black has moved Ng8-f6
White has moved Nb1-c3
Black has moved Bc8-g4
White has moved f2-f3
Black has moved Bg4-f5
White has moved e3-e4
Black has moved d5xe4
White has moved f3xe4
Black has moved Bf5-g4
White has moved Qd1-d2
Black has moved e7-e6
White has moved Qd2-d3
Black has moved Bf8-d6
White has moved Ng1-f3

Is it really that much of a dilemma for the bloody thing? I'm not trying, just killing time at work.. Im sorry mr computer!

It probably has some kind of move - its just that it isn't sure it is the best one so it is evaluating yet more ply. Why don't you push the equivalent of "Force Move" on your chess program and let us know what it pitched?
