Maybe someone good with elisp, and for the good of us all, could automate this bisection -- eg, not splitting defuns, etc. AND even recursively, since I imagine that lots of .emacs-files do a load-file on a 2nd-level ".emacs". And maybe even then run emacs, with provided user-input! This bisection-scheme -- I imagine we all use it -- sure involves a lot of work (grunt-work)! More on that "recursive" idea: when the single-level bisection homes in on the load-file as the problem, then a way (by hand, I guess) to say "ok, bisection.{c,sh,...}, let's do it again, but this time don't start bisecting until you get to that load-library (or enter that file?)"? (in the unfortunate situation that the "green shoots" they're saying they see in this economy turn brown and die, and someone here thus thereafter ends up with time on his/her hands, maybe then?)
