I would say that this is quite an extreme position and a classically tough one
for computers to deal with.  Yes it will come up - especially in anti-computer
style chess but the code and heuristics to handle this position are not trivial.
 In general I would say that Shredder is excellent at the endgame and this is
just one hole in the evaluation.

Steve
