Shredder UCI, despite what version, is normaly impossible to forfeit on time! If
you think that playing Shredder versus Shredder makes sence repeat that under
the delivered Classic GUI! I saw more than 10000 games played with different UCI
Shredders and NEVER saw a forfeit on time from Shredder!
I have to admit that because engine play in a GUI uses time, it makes sence to
play at least a  "+1 second" in whatever GUI (of course + 1/10 of a secoun would
be enough but that is impossible).

PS: I do not think that it makes sence to play Shredder vs. Shredder. Even if
the "older" version is performing better it is saying nothing about the real
playing strength of each version!
