What would be even better is not having a global variable at all, though that would be a larger change and is already partially covered by #10875 I believe.

We can just clear it for now, till the larger change is merged.

I am unsure about the better fix here. Why not eliminate the global variable if that fixes the problem? Then it will make the other PR smaller.

@merwok I updated the PR with that if that is what you prefer, it is not too bad, the diff is pretty low.

Sharing MESSAGES between files is a (mis-)feature. See #10875 which solves this problem more thoroughly.

Do you mind splitting it from the larger pr, it would simplify it as Eric mentioned.

This PR is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.
