Well, it’s from GCC, so probably. I saw it save the return of a
function call (from eax, on i386) save into a local variable,
read from there, push to the stack, pop from there and then
finally use it once. In optimised mode and yes, current gcc as
well as older gcc…

The question is rather, why’s it segfaulting, is GCC at fault,
and, most importantly, how do I fix this?

Thanks for caring!
