Thanks. Fairly obvious, actually. Not sure why I didn't think of this
myself.

Makes sense. Thanks again. 04f982beb900 appears to be good. So if
96702be56037 turns out to be bad bisecting might not turn into the
ordeal it usually is. (On this machine, with my workflow, bisecting an
v3.x..v3.x+1-rcy range takes a few days.)
