Why didn't you compile with plain debug (no optimizations of

Sure. I was just turning on all the bells and whistles to see (a)
whether it worked at all; and (b) whether it seemed any faster than the
gcc-compiled version. I was still playing around with it when it
crashed. I've recompiled with the fancy optimizations turned off now.
If I get the crash again, I'll try to get a backtrace.
FWIW, it *did* seem to run much faster than the gcc-compiled version.
At least the UI seemed snappier.
Also, I discovered that the version of icc you download from Intel's web
pages is not the latest version. Apparently they push to the main web
page fairly infrequently. You have to sign up for their premium support
service, then go to the support pages, where the latest version actually
resides. I've now installed the latest version, so the next time I get
a crash, I'll be using a more recent debugger. Hopefully that helps!
