for example I would not export a symbol and do something else in the
same commit, but would split them up in two. I do the minimum work per
commit without breaking compilation or functionality. That way it is
easier to identify issues later on.

Can you please send me your fix. I can reboot my machine remotely, but
only once. That way I can tell you if your fix works, or not.
