So we have been trying to bisect it but it is basically impossible for
us to do so as the ICE driver was quite broken for most of the release
cycle so we have no networking on 99% of the builds and we can't test
such a setup.
More specifically, the bug was introduced between 6.2 and 6.3 but we
could not get much further. The last good commit we were able to test
was f18f9845f2f10d3d1fc63e4ad16ee52d2d9292fa and then after 20 commits
where we had no networking we gave up.

If you have some suspicious commit(s) we could revert - happy to test.

Thanks again.
