When last packet pointer "lp" and "pnum->u64" buffer points the same memory buffer, high optimization can cause unpredictable results. It seems that assignment of precalculated group sizes may interfere with initialization of new group size when lp points value inside current group and didn't should be changed. With gcc >5.x and optimization we cannot be sure which assignment will be done first, so the group size can be counted incorrectly causing segfault. This patch eliminates intersection of assignment of initial group size (lp[0] = 1) and precalculated group sizes when gptbl[v].idx < 4. The same patch was applied for original l3fwd (af1694d94).
