On the behaviour of strong semistability in geometric deformations

Let $Y\to B$ be a relative smooth projective curve over an affine integral base scheme $B$ of positive characteristic. We provide for all prime characteristics example classes of vector bundles $\mathcal{S}$ over $Y$ such that $\mathcal{S}$ is generically strongly semistable and semistable but not strongly semistable for some special fibre. This also provides new examples of the behaviour of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities in geometric families.
