The only moves that I am unable to reproduce are:

34.h4
36.Rg8
40.Ke2 {This is the first real odd one, as CM9000 announces Mate with Rb7 pretty
quickly, even on my P3-733}
45.f3 {Obviously, Ra5# should be the move, and even most of the stupidest
personalities in CM9000 will play this move}

Was The King running on YOUR computer? If so, can you reproduce any of these
moves?
