    This is the closest it appears to be possible to narrow down where the
    regression happened.

    Some form of changelogging to enumerate what the contents of the
    2.6.6-bk6 -> 2.6.6-bk7 delta are and to reconstruct intermediate points
    between 2.6.6-bk6 and 2.6.6-bk7 is needed.

    I have already tried to carry out various procedures to accomplish this
    for several other problem reports and/or issues and come have come away
    from the effort highly discouraged (having made zero progress) each time.
