No, I didn't, but I found it manually (kind-of), while trying to find
anchor points for git bisect:

If you use gitk on cb609d5415e, and scroll down to "Merge branch
'v0.99.x' into v1.0.x" (13894992d8), you'll see a couple of merges.
Here, up to the merge into v1.0.x, things work.  In the v1.0.x branch,
everything down to the beginning of 2010 [sic] what I tested failed,
including the 1.0.0 release 668a769fb.

I was wrong in my conclusion in my first mail that it's the v0.99.x
branch, which introduces the bug, it's apparently the v1.0.x branch.

I was planning to check some early commit after some merges in 2009 on
the v1.0.x branch, after 1982fba643, and the first commit in 2010 on
the v1.0.x branch, bbcb85a663bbb.  If one is good and one is bad I'd
have let it run bisect overnight.

1982fba643 (the first unmerged, see above) is not properly updated for
new libpng.  The first out of 10/2009 does not work either, for same
reason.  The first out of 11/2009 does not work too.  The first of
12/2009 also not.  The first in 01/2010 fails to compile too.  First
of 02/2010: fails compiling.  First of 03/2010: compiles, and fails on
the import level with Bus error.

So I'm screwed for today.  I have to dig out my patch for that libpng
issue and incorporate it into the test script.

So far the bug arised < 03/2010. sic.  sigh.

Friedrich
