Code explanation

Can somebody explain why this code outputs what it does?

// tested with Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Xeon
// tested with gcc4.1.2 gcc4.4.3 and gcc4.6.1
// compile with: gcc -O0 -m32
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <setjmp.h>

No, all of "us" probably got it. You, on the other hand were more interested in pointing out how stupid OP and everyone is rather than simply ignoring the thread if you thought it was to boost OP's e-peen. That tells me that you probably are a manchild having a hard time accepting that others might do and say stuff you disagree with.

Also, this thread was off-topic as soon as the first guy bashing on OP (most likely you, since you seem to have your feelings hurt) posted.
