[12:43am]aliguori:agraf, i can wait until the very start (7am my time) of 
tomorrow morning to tag -rc2 if you think having a little more time would be 
helpful here
[12:43am]agraf:aliguori: but to me a regression weighs more than missing bug 
fixes
[12:43am]agraf:aliguori: if mark can debug this down within that time, would 
that work for you?
[12:43am]aliguori:agraf, yes

Mark, do you think you could narrow this down within the next few hours? Or 
rather - would you like to give it a try?
