You need to find the person responsible for this machine, they should
have the names, phone numbers, customer ids, etc. necessary for calling the
problem in and getting it fixed.  Problems get fixed only if they are reported
(and hopefully, with a test case).  My understanding is that the machines
come with a software warranty.

As a work around, have you tried compiling with optimization turned off (leave
off the -O flag)?

I hope this helps
