This program exhibits similar problems on Linux x86.  -g works fine, but -O
causes it to get stuck in level 2, eventually terminating with a bus error
after 86 iterations (this is repeatable).

I have a related problem, but no sample code, where even -g results in an
infinite loop while throwing an exception.  I'll try to narrow my source
down to a concise example and post it later.

This compiler does not have Jason's "--pc" patch.
