Hm, -funroll-loops is not included in -O2, is it? If so, then I don't have 
this flag set in my compile options.

I really wonder what the error in KCGlobal valgrind reports is due to. It 
looks rather serious, delete() on a memory region that has not been malloc'd 
before. If this one corrupted the heap, I'm rather sure we'd see all kind of 
funny errors hard to track.
