Something is broken and it isn't crafty. I had it annotate the above game in
console mode, and it properly brands move 68 as a blunder:
({13:+0.01} 68. Nge4+ Kf7 $10)
({13:+5.24} 68. Nce4+ Kg7 69. Nf3 Kh6 70. f6 Rd1 71. Ne5 Rf1+ 7
2. Kg4 Kh7 73. Kg5 Kg8 74. Kg6 Re1 75. Kf5 $18)
No idea what the GUI is doing, but it is certainly breaking something somehow,
perhaps with the way it sends moves or positions to Crafty to search...
I would not trust any games played this way, based on this sample...
