The fix from 59.0.1 to 59.0.2 is literally two lines, it shouldn't be a problem. Thank you for all of your effort, what you write about the messy assembler code seems reasonable. The more I read through the comments in that file, the more I wonder how this could ever worked out in the past.

That is because, as far as I understand it, this bug hasn't been resolved for any ubuntu version lower than artful (17.10), for reasons unexplained. It might be related to the release of 56.0 a day ago, so it is best to wait a few days and hopefully the fix will be backported to esr branches.
