Looks like shredder is right here and the game was a draw.  White moved a pawn
at move 80.  White can't claim a draw until he has made 50 non-pawn/non-capture
moves, which means white's first opportunity to claim the draw will be at move
130.  Black, however, plays a non-pawn move at move 80, so black's counter is
already moving, and by move 130 when white plays a non-pawn/non-capture and
claims the draw, black has already played 50 non-pawn/non-capture moves and
the draw claim was correct.
