Then, how do I search for a good version with git bisect if I only have
the one data-point "master is bad"?

All I tried when testing those 5 versions was trying to find a good
version so that I can actually do an automatic bisect. And I stopped at
1.5.3 because I figured that my test-case is probably just pretty
uncommon and was basically always broken.

Another manual "bisect" shows that 1.5.0 also crashes and as 1.4.0
doesn't even want to read my git git repository, I don't intend to go
even further backwards in the history to find a good commit, unless
someone tells me that it is a really good idea or how to automate
finding a good commit in a sane way.
