I think that you are looking at the wrong position.

I am not sure if 36.h4 is losing.

Shredder could probably save the game later by 40.f5

[D]8/7p/6p1/3p4/P3pPPP/2k1K3/8/8 w - - 0 1

A possible line is 40.f5 d4+ 41.Kxe4 d3 42.f6 d2 43.f7 d1Q 44.f8Q  and I believe
that it is a draw.

I guess that shredder was cheated in this game when yout p600 started to behave
like 286 for some unknown reason(otherwise I cannot understand the fact that
shredder got only depth 6)
