This is due to sloppy coding in your code base, which was, unknown to
you, capable of producing "surprising," and by "surprising," I mean
"glaringly wrong" answers. You need to find the places where your
code base contains this slop and clean it up.

I can't really recommend that you put in workarounds, as they don't
actually fix the bugs you've found.

Cheers,
