Yep, a clean build often got rid of the weirdest bugs I had, because some shared memory was misaligned, because, as you said, because of compile optimization, some parts didn't know about the changes

Ive had some build bugs where a clean build didnt fix it, restarting the IDE didn't fix it, but rebooting the computer did.

I imagine some long running process even after the IDE is closed had been corrupted or something.
