What version are you running?
Here is what SPSS 20 produces when you use the Exact button:

Chi-Square Tests
        Value   df      Asymp. Sig. (2-sided)   Exact Sig. (2-sided)
Exact Sig. (1-sided)    Point Probability
Pearson Chi-Square      5.234a  2       .073    .072
Likelihood Ratio        6.319   2       .042    .072
Fisher's Exact Test     4.609                   .072
Linear-by-Linear Association    3.191b  1       .074    .119    .070    .052
N of Valid Cases        17
a 5 cells (83.3%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected
count is 1.24.
b The standardized statistic is 1.786.


The "gold standard" would be to run in statxact but I don't have it on my
machine.

I always thought, SPSS would compute "Fisher's Exact Test" equivilant to the
Freeman-Halton-Test. But this doesn't seem to be so.

Following data example:

        A       B       Sum
1       3       0       3
2       1       3       4
3       3       7       10
Sum     7       10      17


SPSS result: p=0,152

-------------------------------------------------
Chi-Square Tests
        Value   df      Asymp. Sig. (2-sided)   Exact Sig. (2-sided)
Exact Sig. (1-sided)
Point Probability
Pearson Chi-Square      4.635a  2       .099    .152
Likelihood Ratio        5.783   2       .055    .152
Fisher's Exact Test     4.194                   .152
Linear-by-Linear Association    3.602b  1       .058    .070    .055    .043
N of Valid Cases        18
a 5 cells (83.3%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum expected
count is 1.33.
b The standardized statistic is 1.898.
-------------------------------------------------

But the Freeman-Halton p-Value should be p(A) = p(B) = 0.07229535170711625
