In sum.: three weeks with 2-3 developers. It was a corrupted ponter in a medical device. The issue was really hard to reproduce and even harder to understand the root-cause. At the end we found a couple of threads which tried to release a pointer and only one implementation of those three threads was broken. And kt was a legacy codebase without support from the authors.
