I've reproduced with exactly commit f41f741838480aeaa3a189cff6e210503cf9c42d on trunk and am now running 2e96d2867245668dbdb973729288cf69b9fafa66 which is the changeset immediately before. > I suppose it's not impossible that this could be triggering the problem > in some very roundabout way, but it seems a bit out of left field--so I > wonder whether one of the bisection points could have gotten marked good > when it should have been bad, or vice-versa. It's possible, the good case is naturally quite hard to establish with 100% certainty. I declared v2.6.26 OK after an uptime of 4 days and 19 hours, compared with failure normally within 1-2 days. It's possible I was premature in doing so. I'll run 2e96d2867 for at least a full week before reporting back.
