Binary searching is very efficient. As far as the theory goes I am confident that a binary search for the bug should take 12 or or less itinerations. The problem with this is that sometimes there are other regressions that mask the original regression. I do not have lotus notes (any version) but I do know about regression testing using CVS.
Tony -
If a binary search needs to be done, I'll do it. (I can build and install Wine in about 10 minutes on my system, so the compile time won't be a problem.) I am hoping to avoid it, however, because I'll have to carve out and set up a complete test partition; I always use RPM to install software on my production systems, and I don't want to spend the time tweaking the SPEC file for each build.
Hopefully someone will be able to make sense of a message trace.
