@Arbee: I'd need some help from you. could you try to compile a build with SYMBOLS=1 ans see if the issue is still present? I compiled a clean build with SYMBOLS=1 and one clean build with SYMBOLS=0. the first has no issues, the second is bugged.
This at least would explain why I was never able to reproduce the problems mentioned earlier: I was always using a SYMBOLS=1 build in my tests...
any idea of which kind of code might cause such a problem with the compiler?
