Which is bad news for detecting bugs in the JIT-compiler;  you can't do
the binary search technique for finding erroneous BBs.

(Well, you probably can if your error and the manifestation of it are
close enough, but if it's a subtle error that doesn't manifest for a
while, it won't work.)

Any way we can achieve the same effect?
