--- Comment #8 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
This is because you are violating strict-aliasing rules by accessing *Ptr
both via char * and unsigned char * which are two different pointer types.

Declaring Ptr as [const] unsigned char * or compiling with -fno-strict-aliasing
fixes your code.
