The original position - AFTER the proposed Ra8:

I think everyone was getting a bit confused here.  Uri gave the position after
the move DB would've made if it didn't fail low (presumably).  You then said you
searched _from that position_, and also after b5 (in the same position?).  Then
I was confused about the correct position, then you said you ran the correct
position.  My mind is going in circles. :P
