Yes, the code was buggy of course, it's a small wonder that the
non-optimized binary didn't coredump as well, because I was writing
beyond the end of a string... Thanks for the explanation anyway! I've
never programmed any assembler, so I really have no idea what
optimizations do to the code. I imagined it was just a magical way of
making it run faster, but now I know better.
