The code to demonstrate the problem

I was working on a matrix math library and decided to use vector extensions and
__builtin_shufflevector. I noticed that commenting and uncommenting a line that
makes no changes to the matrix will result in a sign change but only when I
generate the matrix using __builtin_shufflevector.

I cut down my code as much as I could while still making sense. Line 97 in
matrix.cpp is the line that I comment and uncomment. it is a const member
function so it can't change any values. With it uncommented my result is:

MATRIX:
       1           0           0           0
       0           1           0           0
      -0          -0          -1          -0
       0           0           0           1

with it commented I get:


MATRIX:
       1           0           0           0
       0           1           0           0
       0           0           1          -0
       0           0           0           1

I tested it on two machines to make sure it wasn't a processor issue.
