Is it appropriate for me to respond to these things?

I was wondering about that. Someone had mentioned that I should trust
the bisect, even when it takes me into "other versions", and it was
taking me through 2.6.27, which I thought was just really weird.
Would you like me to try the bisect again with a little more
diligence, or do you think it can be found with the info given? It
may take a week or so, due to being a bit busy.

Thanks
