Therby beating my effort of mate in 88, starting with Ka6

I plugged that into Nalimov, it finds a mate in 141.
But I do love tim Krabbe's site :)
Now I get 262 as well. I must have had the position wrong, but for the life of me I cant duplicate that 141 move one now .....
I am wondering what is the logest mating pattern in a 6 man tablebase, I know 7 men can get upto 500 moves, but what about 6?
