The recommendation of Intel is to use -O2 until they find out what it is.

They are investigating the case, its not related to a similar bug that was reported earlier.

Thanks for the analysis. I will be interested to find out what Intel
says; I have seen some strange losses of accuracy with 11.1 using -O3
and this might be a contributor.
