This puts the while-loop on the right-hand side of a pipe, which means
that it's not running in the main shell environment any longer. So any
variables set will be lost after the loop ends, any calls to exit will
only exit the loop and not the whole script, etc.
It looks like we might call into bisect_start inside the loop, which
does exit. I didn't trace all the way through its sub-functions to see
if they set variables.
The simplest fix is probably to clean up "$file" into another tempfile,
and then read from that.
