Debug this by using Bruce Perens' ElectricFence library. It comes on
the Red Hat 5.0 CD. Find out about how to use it either by reading
the manual page for "libefence" or by reading the recently published
-- and excellent -- Addison-Wesley book "Linux Application
Programming" by our own Johnson and Troan.

Basically, if you do stuff the language standard states isn't
guaranteed to work, the compiler can change the behaviour of the
program when you use the optimiser.
