Subject: Crafty analysis question

Crafty reached this position as black vs. little goliath in a game (pondering
off). After about 8 seconds thinking on my 350 MHz box, crafty played b5. This
had the effect of losing the a pawn a few moves later, and the game was quickly
lost after that. Crafty may be lost anyway, but b5 doesn't help.

Later, I let crafty analyze the position. It liked b5 for about 4 seconds, then
switched to Kc7. So my question is, why did Crafty stick with b5 for 8 seconds
in the game, but realized in half that time during analysis that the move was
inferior?
