I've never used git blame, so I don't know how far it can be trusted, 
but if that change was made in 2006, that would predate the major 
breakage by several
years.  So my suggestion from yesterday is a reasonable one:

With that patch, if you re-run the experiment of hang-breakout-dump, we 
might be able to deduce something.
Ralf wrote to me independently to say that my message from yesterday 
with that suggestion and some other commentary got eaten once again by 
the LMO mail forwarder because of the HTML content.  With all due 
respect, I'm using a very standard open-source mail client (Thunderbird) 
with a very normal option (reply to text with text, HTML with HTML).  
Perhaps it it's the LMO mail system that needs to change, and not the 
mail configurations of the whole LMO community.
