When the code below is compiled using "-O" flag it segfaults. If
the code is compiled without optimization it works fine. Also the code works
fine when compiled with intels compiler. Note that there are no pointers in the
code. Thus it seems very likely that there is an SSE2 intrinsics related bug in
gcc.
One explanation could be that the __m128i types in SSE2 need to be 16 bytes
aligned and that gcc missaligns something (maybe the stack) when optimizing.
However, I am far from an expert so I leave it up to you figure that out.
