If you get a segfault, do you compile/run code in unsafe mode?
Block-optimization should normally not result in crashes, but will
produce runtime-errors when variables are referenced that are not
bound. In block mode, defined toplevel variables will not be exposed
and not be visible to code outside of the file compiled in that mode.
This is really the only difference to compilation in normal mode.
