Crazyhouse Stockfish Glitch

When I put 1. e4 a5 2. Nc3 Ra6 on an analysis board for Crazyhouse, Stockfish says there's a checkmate in 3 for white when there isn't. After playing through its false checkmate sequence, it just loads endlessly without doing anything (but nothing stops black from taking the queen).
i hopped on to the anaylisis, and everything seems fine to me, it says +6.7 what is the mating seuqence that stockfish suggests?

(I am just interested, if the glitch is real I can't do anything about it, sorry)
LiChess has some incorrect data cached in its cloud for position evaluations. I don't think crazyhorse is the only variants that has the issue though I think it's the one most often mentioned here.

The only workaround I know of is to run analysis long enough that the cloud icon disappears. For some positions, it has depth 99, stored with an incorrect cloud evaluation, and the workaround is not possible.
@potatothing Stockfish shows 3. Qh5 g6 4. Qd5 e6 5. Qxd7+ (as if it's playing Atomic instead).

@StingerPuzzles The workaround didn't work but luckily it's not an important line anyways, thanks for the notice.
#4 ya its not showing any mate for me, however i feel like i might have experienced the glitch before a long time ago, but i could be having some false memory stuff going on
perhaps we have different anaylsing settings which show something different, but idk, i have no clue how this stuff works
I tried it, and it gave that mate in 3 almost instantly... but then it searched deeper(3-4 seconds on my computer) and gave +7
So definitely a bug.
