Subject:	Strange Optimization

Sers!
I' ve realized a strange(?) behaviour of the optimization switch in GNU 
C/C++.
I wrote a program to convert binary files to ASCII files (nothing 
_really_exiting, I know) and after a few days, it worked really fine. 

After all I decided to compile with the -O3 option (no error 
message at all) but when executing suddenly it chrashed. So I 've 
a simple question: Is that what you 'ld call a bug - or is it quite normal?
I tried it both with GNU V1 and V2 and a 486 DX40, 16 MBRAM, DOS 6.22
