That's the plan - however, turn around could be horribly slow if the 
average wait time to crash is of order a few days between each bisect.
Also machine is currently in use, so will need to deal with that as 
well. Will do my best.

Fingers crossed someone might just spot something in the meantime.

The commit mentioned above ensures underlying errors are not hidden, so 
it may simply have revealed some underlying issue and not be the actual 
'culprit'.
