I tried all git releases from 1.5.3 to 1.5.3.4 as well as the current
master and all of them crashed. A small shell script to reproduce the
problem is attached.

Manual bisect? Ugh. This *is* the century of the competent developer
tools, you know... ;-)

Then, how do I search for a good version with git bisect if I only have
the one data-point "master is bad"?

AFAIK Junio introduced the option to start with just a bad commit, and no 
known "good" one.

Yep, just found it.  Since v1.5.2-rc0~77^2(git-bisect: allow bisecting 
with only one bad commit.) it is supported.

From the commit message:

    This allows you to say:

        git bisect start
        git bisect bad $bad
        git bisect next

I don't know if it is in the documentation (I rarely read it), so if it is 
missing, it would be nice if you could add the description there.

Ciao,
