Well you're right. I hit "Reply" too early and should have paid closer
attention to what change the bisect actually brought up.

I already found a false negative (fortunately pretty close to the end
of the bisect sequence) and also verified the preceding good commits,
which gives me two new commits to test. I'll provide an update once
the builds and tests are through, which may however take until early
next week as I will be on vacation until then.

Regards,
Thilo
