[Bug c++/38625] New: Segmentation fault when dereferencing valid pointer, probably REGRESSION

["l dot jirkovsky at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

First, I'd like to apologize that I wasn't able to extract the problematic
code. I hope somebody more experienced will find the way how to do it.

Problematic code is in enblend, which can be downloaded from cvs using cvs:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@enblend.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/enblend -f
enblend

The problem is in src/mask.h:228 in (*mxLeft != *mx). It seems that it crashes
when dereferencing pointer (which should be valid because it's used before),
because it even doesn't get to overloaded operator!= function in
include/vigra/diff2d.hxx:1093

I've tested it with gcc 3.4.6 and it works without segfaults, so I think that
it can be some regression. Moreover, windows version compiled with MSVC seems
do be unaffected too.

I think it can be somewhat connected to bug #32896.

It has already been reported in hugin's bugtracker (enblend is a part of it):
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2121647&group_id=77506&atid=550441

Steps to reproduce:
-------------------
compile enblend:
  make -f Makefile.cvs
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug=no --with-x
  sed -i 's|#define\ malloc\ rpl_malloc|/* & */|' config.h # sometimes maloc is
not detected corectly
  make
Download test files which cause segfault and unzip them from:
  http://blender6xx.ic.cz/pub/DEBUG.zip
run enblend:
  enblend kladruby00* -o test.tif

After some time it segfaults
