One way to "attempt to" detect this problem is to use multiple compilers. There should be enough "stability" in your program that an optimized compiler does not make much difference when investigating problems over a non-optimized one. If the optimized one has problems when the non-optimized one (or the same compiler optimized versus non-optimized) does not, suspect the optimization before suspecting bugs in your code. KarinsDad :)
