Thanks for the help, you just narrowed it down to a meagre 120-130 
commits :-)

I hadn't thought of include files, and it would seem a tempting 
explanation, as I'm not regularly updating my installed set of those; 
but a quick check reveals that I'm already using the newest; which is 
not too surprising, giving that only three changes have been made within 
the include directory since 3.7-stable so far, and none of them seems 
anywhere close to being a plausible candidate. (And no, math.inc hasn't 
been changed at all.)
