+Boris. This thread seems to have split.

Lyude,
Does the warning show on mainline or does it only show when bisecting?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "it happens before and after the
regressing commit".


Boris,
In any case, I like your idea on saving the block addresses. I can look into this.

Thanks,
Yazen
