They got it up and running again, but it didn't have time to get to fail low on c4 again. In your second example, there was a C macro expansion error (Eugene Nalimov quoting Murray Campbell). Everybody has hardware problems sometimes, and everybody has software bugs too. <shrug> Ironically, it might have been this bug that won it the match vs. GK: if it hadn't been there, and the machine had consequently played the ending better, GK might have been more prepared for the better play DB exhibited in later match games.
