Subject: Shredder 7 finds error in Basic Chess Endings Revised

I was going over a few endgames in Basic Chess Endings Revised with Shredder 7
and was surprised to find an error on page 33 Diag. 67.  According to GM Fine it
is "Black to play.  White wins."  It goes as follows 1...Kf4 2. Kk2 Ke4 3.g3 g5
etc.  According to Shredder 7 3...g5 is a fatal error and instead it should be
3...Kf5 leading to a draw.

GM Benko must have overlooked this.  Has anyone else found errors in the revised
edition of Basic Chess Endings?
