"A heavily bugged version of Shredder that plays 150 points weaker" and still it
managed 4 draws against the strongest chess program in the world... somehow i
find that hard to believe.

I have gone over the games with Shredder 9 and it looks to me like it is pretty
much the same engine, so can we conclude that Shredder 9 is heavily bugged? ;)
(just joking).

I would like to add that i am very impressed (like most) with how good Shredder
is in general and i am very pleased that i bought it!
