KMM compiled from source this morning seems to broken

[Brendan Coupe]

How do I save an anonymized copy? I don't see the option and I haven't

I keep the last couple of good versions around just in case so no need to
modify the latest source tree. I have not tried git bisect and I don't have
any idea what it does.
