Chessbase GUIs cannot handle games with more than 256 moves.
Moreover you'll get rare time losses (or screwed up game finals)
anyway with a sudden death time control, as your third time control.
If you look at your PGN you'll see, that were were played around 50! plies
in around one second at the end. (Inc would be nicer for the last stage IMHO)

(BTW just 29 plies missed for a 50 moves draw too.)
