Thanks for the report and sorry about the late reply. This is not a
bug in DOLFIN, but rather a result of the problem reported in #680931
[1]. It is a GCC 4.7.1 bug, which has now been fixed upstream [2]. I
am not sure how to handle this from here but Armadillo 3.2.4 (3.2.3 is
in Debian) has a workaround for the GCC bug. Would it be possible to
get this version into Debian now?
