OK!  Thanks for testing.  I wonder if can make that cheaper somehow.

Are you saying that you can trigger the bug on top of commit 0d6f84aab?

That is interesting, since it does not contain the libepoxy update and
should be a good candidate for a "normal" bisect.  Can you try to "git
bisect bad" and then try these commits:

6449e68d350b8196d39715a2e775337c7c93387e
263c9941a1e523b360ca9f42d1ed6b11e6e6e285

If any of them are good, just follow git bisect instructions.  I believe
the second should be good, and possibly the first too.

This package is missing a (source ...) field.  So this only pretends to
be 1.4.0, but is actually the same as the inherited one.

(Also, should it not be 1.5.0?)

Thanks for sharing these scripts!
