The attached (simple) piece of code segfaults if compiled with (>=)-O2.
There are several possibilities to trigger the error.
1. Using the attached cpp, compile with -O2 ends in segfault when running the
app (-O{0,1} is fine)
2. If the cout in the last line is removed, everything seems to be fine
3. If line 16 is exchanged with line 15, everything is fine, too.
(tested on gentoo and SuSE)
