Hm, i don't think we're agreeing actually. I'm saying that using a packaged git snapshot from the upstream repository appears to *fix* #656443 for me. It sounds to me like you're saying building from upstream git *doesn't* fix the expand stroke crash for you. Is that right?
I'm not sure what "some others" are -- can you give a concrete reference to these others?
