Ok.

Please mention this in future log messages, as it was not quite
clear that "before" was actually with JIT off, and "after" was
with JIT on.

One could have read it that actually both cases were with JIT on,
and thus the inconsistent result for LD_IND_NET is a bit confusing
since you've quoted it here as well.
