How good is Komodo to force a win here or was it inevitable?

I don't know, but apparently chances are Houdini would have panicked and just exchanged the Rook for the pawn, directly losing the game.

Critter 1.2 Linux and IvanHoe 9.47b Linux ("special"), both using single core with ponder-on, and no egtb. The starting position is quite favorable to black, and I thought this should have been draw:

Is IvanHoe "special" brilliant or Critter has pawn endings weakness? Ponder-on, 1 core, 15+10 tc, 256 MB hash, egtb off. Score from engine's POV.
