Package segfaults when built with -O2 but not with -O0

One of my packages, pptp, suffers occasional segfaults as reported in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/749455. However, whilst investigating this,
it seems to be the case that simply rebuilding the package using no
optimization (-O0) as opposed to the default -O2 is enough to stop this
happening.

This raises two questions (at least!):

1. Is it reasonable for me to flout the packaging guidelines by
rebuilding with -O0 until this is resolved?

2. How to determine what the actual problem is, e.g. a problem with the
way the code is written leading to unsafe optimizations, or a gcc bug?

Paul.
