Try
git bisect visualize
and pick any commit that is active (avoiding the endpoints) and looks like a good candidate to test. Then do "git reset --hard <that-commit>" and try again..
Of course, when there are two overlapping bugs, and the other hides the bug you are trying to chase down, there *will* be cases where bisect simply doesn't work, if you are unlucky. Bisecting is wonderful, but it's not going so solve world hunger, or even be able to help with _all_ problems.
