Given that I believe the problem to be some sort of garbage
pointer write corrupting data, what I need are kernels that
_don't_ work, that _reliably_ don't work, and that continue
to not work in the same way when attempts are made to debug
them.

That last point is what is making this bug elusive for me.

You might stick with one compiler to reduce the variables.

Success reports aren't terribly enlightening.
