Try

	git bisect visualize

and pick any commit that is active (avoiding the endpoints) and looks like 
a good candidate to test. Then do "git reset --hard <that-commit>" and try 
again..

Of course, when there are two overlapping bugs, and the other hides the 
bug you are trying to chase down, there *will* be cases where bisect 
simply doesn't work, if you are unlucky. Bisecting is wonderful, but it's 
not going so solve world hunger, or even be able to help with _all_ 
problems.
