Don't you update from bzr whenever you build? If so, sorting your
files by time stamp will show you your previous updates, which
correspond to your builds.
I wrote:
Thanks. This shows that my previous update was Mar 28.
The bug did not occur in that version.
But since the bug seems to have been introduced on Mar 11,
maybe I did not actually recompile on Mar 28. Maybe I just
updated the sources without recompiling. I can't tell.
I could reliably know when I recompiled last, and from which BZR
version, if I had the old executables.
It is no longer crucial for this bug, since its cause is now known.
However, the issue may arise at other times.
In the past, I rarely did make bootstrap.
A simple recompile nearly always worked. However, the Emacs build
system has got a lot more complex, and a simple recompile usually
does not work; I am effectively compelled to do a bootstrap instead.
I think that is a change for the worse.
