I thought that as well.

I built it myself, yes.

When compiling without optimizations I can't seem to reproduce it.

This is strange, sorry for not being of much help.

Since it's compiled without optimizations now, is this a bug in GCC
itself? I doubt it, but here's my version anyway:

gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.8.3 20140627 [gcc-4_8-branch revision 212064]

I use a lot of packages.

`M-x list-faces-display RET' (I think that's the correct command) lists ~703.
