Gustav heuristic vs. Brute Force


Are there any known cases where heuristic mode failed to catch a cook or solution on the solving software "Gustav" by Olaf Jenkner, assuming standard settings except looking for all move numbers (2 flight squares, all captures and promotions allowed, 0 threat depth, unknown move number)?

James had me test a selfmate and wanted to know about it. :-)

See
https://pdb.dieschwalbe.de/P1127241
If you give 4 flights, Gustav only finds authors solution.
The cook needs 5 flights.

Yes, examples with other settings are also welcome, obviously. Many thanks! So Brute Force indeed is necessary for testing 100 percent.

An example:

https://pdb.dieschwalbe.de/P1238025

Gustav finds the solution using automatically adjusted parameters within 3 seconds.
After each white move black has only one move. Otherwise the white move will not be considered.
The cook has 2.Sxd6! and black has a plenty of moves. It takes a lot of time to find (compute) such cooks, but they are quite often.
