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>

Dude, no where does anyone claim that it is C. OP asked for the program flow. It certainly does compile and run. You're just being an ignorant dick.
