It is a possibility in the game submited in the forum here, section "Game Analysis", topic Endgame problems.

In the game, white played 1. Bxc5?! Bxc5 2. Bxa8 Rxa8 3. Tb1 (3. a5? Bb4) a5! and then white have only a small advantage. At the end, he even lost.

I think this was a bit easy, there are lots of possibilities after the rook is captured.
