Comment (by simonpj):

 The names of the variables should not make any difference!  That's
 bizarre.

 Guessing is usually fruitless; you need data.

 Did you add that assertionn I suggested?

 As I say, a stage2 compiler is a huge program.  I urge you to first build
 the libraries and compiler without the change; then switch the change on
 and run the testsuite. Any bugs must be in those little programs.  Then
 nofib.
