The "real" piece of code I'm working on is 14923 lines long (the "C" file, not
the "i" file). I can think of obfuscating it to the point it becomes not clear
what it is doing functionally.

We can make a deal: I obfuscate and publish the code, you guys fix the
bug preserving, if possible, performance.

The code is really complex, and it's not realistic for me to make it smaller.

By the way, using gcc-3.4.6 with '-O3' makes performance much worse, worse
than the one obtained with gcc-4.1.1.

On the other hand, '-O3' applied to gcc-4.1.1 does not change the performance
that drastic, though I do not remember at the moment whether the performance
improves or deteriorates.
