For what its worth, last time I tried snap on Debian stable I found it
didn't work reliably.

I asked in Stack Overflow, and managed to backport the version of snap
from unstable. Where I encountered exactly the same problems as before:

So possibly at least one of my problems is a Kernel issue in Debian
stable (at least my current theory), however this seems to indicate to
me that snap is still somewhat bleeding edge and cannot be relied on.
