My apologies if this is redundant, I'm not up to speed on progress
here.  But a crash in t9350.19 caught my eye:

  checking known breakage: 
          (
                  cd limit-by-paths &&
                  git fast-export master~2..master~1 > output &&
                  test_cmp output expected
          )

The crash is hidden by the fact that the test is test_expect_failure.
It bisects to this commit.  Perhaps we should distinguish between
test_expect_failure and test_expect_crash?...
