What I have so far (via git-bisect) is: f62870db3c73683fe566a05efa2a05f3faeb44f5 is a bad But the/a good one is 5e03e2c48fc2952f6a9e986cfa194fe905d0f569. So the remaining ones are all docu. Maybe I just dont use git-bisect correctly, and maybe the changes are all that linear.

Usually, it crashes in less than 80. Looking back through the git-commit mails, I'm past a huge pile of unrelated network driver changes.
