I have added Ken's pair of commands from his earlier email and his
recommendation from below to the wiki, with no more explanation than
"if one does not solve the problem, try the next".
The change:
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=QA%

the result:
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/HowToBibisect#Installed_LibreOffice_became_modified_unexpectedly>.

Several times along the way, I have resorted to the extreme measure of
deleting the directory with the bibisect repository and extracting it
again from the tarfile.  That is perhaps the ultimate repair.
