** Description changed:

+ Impact:
+ gosmore goes into a busy loop when starting, just using 100% cpu and doing 
nothing
+ It is caused by a strict aliasing violation in the code, just disabling 
strict aliasing optimizations is the simplest solution until we get something 
better from upstream.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ start gosmore
+ if a window shows up it works, if it just eats 100% not
+ 
+ regression potential:
+ only disable an optimization flag, fixes a completely broken package, should 
not cause issues besides maybe some minor performance regressions which are 
acceptable compared to the current state.
+ 
+ 
+ original report:
  Installed gosmore on fresh 12.04 machine.
  
  1. Started gosmore - nothing happened.
  2. Checked ps - gosmore is inside the proc list. Killed it.
  3. Started gosmore. Console output:
  $ LC_ALL="C" gosmore
  gosmore is in the public domain and comes without warranty

before.
