In general, when bisecting a range of commits that includes merge
commits, you should use the --first-parent option, which basically
does the right thing with the merge when choosing commits to test.

Can you keep trying and let us know the results? If it becomes
infeasible, let us know and we can arrange to run the bisection next
week (on vacation).

Calibre is one of the flagship free software applications so let's
work together to fix it :)
