In case the problem is triggered by initialising with 0: you can make the compiler trash all local variables etc with 0 instead of with $55555555 by compiling with -gtttt instead of with -gt (and then you can try without -O2/-Ooregvar, which will make debugging easier). For completeness: -gtt uses $AAAAAAAA and -gttt uses $EFEFEFEF. Using more t's will just wrap around.
