Hmm, thats a good start. So now you know a GOOD revision, and a BAD
revision. Now, go and read "man git-bisect", don't be afraid, it is
actually not complicated. git bisect is a binary search mechanism for a
revision control system. Given a GOOD and BAD revision, it will
checkout a revision between them, and let you perform a test such that
you can tell it if this revision is good or bad. If you repeat this
step a few times (not often), the binary search will narrow down to the
actual change which introduced the problem.

It helps to know that apparently, it is really a software problem. We
should narrow it down and fix it.
