Comment # 9
on bug 75102
from Peter Asplund
I've done the bisect! And maaaan was it tiring. I think I've built the kernel
60-70 times, since the crash seems to be more reproducible when the system is
under stress. Then I had to keep it under stress to see if it finally crashed
and repeated the behaviour, which could take all from 2 minutes to 30 minutes!
I also managed to not wait long enough for a crash, which lead to an incorrect
"git bisect good" at the third step, and I had to do it all over again when I
reached an incorrect result after 7 steps!
Buuuut, now I think I've nailed it down! Here's the bisect log, and the result:
