I pasted it because it was short and more convenient for other people than 
digging into the latest src code.

The new diff_pixels routine I added is a version 5, commercial product from 
Intel. Even if I had made some weird mistake in how I call it, it shouldn't 
cause a crash in a completely unrelated area of code. That is why I suggested 
in my previous posting that it might be a problem with the linker or compiler. 
Given that there is already a mem-align hack in ffmpeg, I would have thought 
that was the most likely problem area, but I don't know, hence my posting.
