Actually I note the same thing, but only up until about 15 ply (which is only a few seconds for this position). The eval for Kxh6 is 0.00, but the position is not actually a draw after Kxh6, because after white goes Kf6 and black's king is cut off from the queening square and will eventually be forced away from the rook file, and so the pawn will promote. Crafty realizes this around 15 ply and gives it a +12, until it then sees Kg8!! and a definite draw. I'm curious as to why it gives Kxh6 a draw at first. In any case all of this happens very quickly and Crafty handles this position well, unlike poor Fritz. :)
