The problem was solved by patching shred, but if you say there is  
something strange here, lets continue with the unpatched version.
I have executed shred first time, it has shown "segmantation fault".
I have executed it for the second time and the console is hanging, I  
can type anything there but cannot terminate it. I have opened second  
sesson in screen and here is the end of output form ps:
20648 wait4             bash
20669 pause             screen
20670 -                 screen
20671 wait4             bash
20684 schedule_timeout  mc
20686 wait4             bash
22742 down              shred
22743 wait4             bash
22767 -                 ps
Unfortunatelly I do not undersand it :-). Whar does it mean?

Best regards,
Adam
