That's not so weird. There are a lot of programs which break with normal
optimization, but work when you enable -g option. That could be it. I'm
sure that you can clean-up the code or something but IMHO if it works
don't bother!! although for a ray-tracer you'd want to have all the
optimizations enabled..
