Subject: Computer difficulties

In a recent Ed Nemeth vs. Fritz game the following position occoured

[D] rnbq3r/pppp1kpp/8/2b4Q/3pn3/8/PP3PPP/RNB1K1NR b KQ - 0 7

Fritz chose to play Ke6 rather than b7-b6, which seems much more sound to me.
Is there something hidden in the b7-b6 move which contains a hidden attack for
White that I cannot see?  Or is it simply "one of those things" that computers
do?

Aristarch 4.4 and Yace 0.99.56 along with several other of the top programs
opted for Ke6...why?
