Always false stack checks are not eliminated - fix on the way

[Simon Marlow]

Have a look at the other tests in codeGen/should_gen_asm.  They compare 
the asm output against a sanitized template, so that we can spot if 
we're not generating a similar instruction sequence.  It's not ideal for 
a number of reasons (platform-dependence being the main one), but it's 
better than nothing.  Feel free to do something better :-)

Cheers,
Simon
