Hi,

I try the following code:

#define MAX_N 40
#define MAX_R 25

#ifndef FALSE
#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE 1
#endif

static unsigned int bin_coeff_tab[ MAX_N ][ MAX_R ];
static int is_calculated = FALSE;

static void
bin_coeff_init( void ) 
{

    int i, j;

    for( i = 0; i < MAX_N; i++ )
        bin_coeff_tab[ i ][ 0 ] = i + 1;
    
    for( j = 1; j < MAX_R; j++ )
        bin_coeff_tab[ 0 ][ j ] = 0;

    for( i = 1; i < MAX_N; i++ )
        for( j = 1; j < MAX_R; j++ )
            bin_coeff_tab[ i ][ j ] = bin_coeff_tab[ i - 1 ][ j - 1 ] +
                bin_coeff_tab[ i - 1 ][ j ];

    is_calculated = TRUE;
}
int main()
{
	bin_coeff_init();
	return 0;
}

(There is no header file included, so I won't include the .i file)

If I try to compile this with both -O3 and -msse, I get a segmentation fault.
