Almost certainly caused by the out-of-bounds array reference:

   1) arrays in C always begin at element 0

   2) temp is defined to be 2 elements long

   3) the iteration runs from 1 to 2 (should be from 0 to 1)

   4) assigning something to temp[2] will cause strange behavior, in this
      case modifying the value of index due (most likely) to the way the
      compiler arranged the variables on the stack.

Changing this to

  for (index = 0; index < 2; index++)
  {
     temp[index] =  u[index] + v[index];
  }

should eliminate the problem.
