  You missed the actual change and your dichotomy resulted in a
meaningless diff.  This often happens when trying to detect “offending”
changes in a large code base.

  I can’t be sure, of course, but that seems more likely than a version
bump introducing the bug you reported.  Have you actually observed that
precisely this change caused the bug?

	Best,

		Arthur
