List of patches that can be theoritically responsible for something
bad between 3.5.3 and 3.5.4:

paul_5_4.2a.    A simple followup to paul_5_4.2 below.
arend_5_4.3.    Break-in code now uses new cache. (very unlikely)
splee_5_4.1b.   Revision of estimate_lunch_eye_value(). Supercedes
                splee_5_4.1a. Revision of splee_5_4.1. Semeai tweak.
paul_5_4.2.     Semeai patch.
paul_5_4.1.     Seki code improvements. (very unlikely)
gunnar_5_4.7.   Tuning. (large patch)
martin_5_4.1b.  Revision of martin_5_4.1a. Revision of martin_5_4.1.
                Owl tuning. (might waste node, don't know counters)
evan_5_4.2a.    Revision of evan_5_4.2. Tuning. (hardly)
gunnar_5_4.1.   Tuning. (very good breakage -- unlikely)
arend_5_4.1.    Breakin fix. (very unlikely)

Not too many candidates.  Anyone wants to check?  The main problem
is to determine on what to check.
