Thanks.  I will take a look.

This looks similar to another bug I am tracking as well.
For that bug by specifying -fno-simplify-phi I was able to avoid
the problem.  For that bug I got as far a deciding that there
was an interaction bug between several optimizations that appear
correctly in and of themselves.  

I will take a look at what you have given me, as it looks like
a nice test case, and see what I can find.  I suggest you play
with disabling individual optimizations so you can at least
move forward until this bug is fixed.
