Can you post the relevant game.

Maybe Re8 force repetition of the position so Fritz prefers repetition and not
negative evaluation(of course in that case white made an horrible blunder in a
previous move).

A lot of programs evaluates first repetition as a draw.
It may be wrong in analysis but in games it is usually no problem.
