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>

first guy bashing OP
For posting undefined code and expecting us to tell him the output when the OP clearly knew what the output of his code was? That sure sounds like a good reason for people in this thread to call him a moron and an idiot.

If you couldn't comprehend the fact that the code was obscure shit with undefined uses then you need to go back to learning how to program and stop wasting your time here.
