btw., even if it turns out to be the wrong commit, you sure poked in the
right general area. This is one of the reoccuring problems with git
bisection: a small mistake near the end of a long bisection session can
point to the wrong commit. Especially with more sporadic failure modes
it can be quite a challenge.
