Comment(by simonmar):
Sure. My main concern here is that we're throwing in workarounds for bugs
that we don't understand, and in my experience that leads to pain later.
Better understand the bug first, and then decide whether the workaround is
the right choice or not (your theory about a static lib sounds plausible).
Having said that, it's not a perfect world and fully diagnosing a bug
isn't always possible (or desirable). But if that's the case we need at
least to put some comments in the code to explain why.
