[Bug middle-end/24095] New: use of garbage-collected memory with -ftree-vectorize

["janis187 at us dot ibm dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

GCC mainline for powerpc-linux segfaults when compiling several of the
SPEC CPU2000 tests with "-ftree-vectorize -maltivec -mabi=altivec".
For most of them this happens with both -m32 and -m64.

The minimized test case (to be attached) causes the failure when
compiled with "-O2 -ftree-vectorize -maltivec --param ggc-min-expand=0
--param ggc-min-heapsize=0".  The segfault is in fold_convert with
orig having the value 0xa5a5a5a5.

A reghunt identified the following patch from rth@gcc.gnu.org:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2005-09/msg00635.html

This could be a latent bug, since on one of the systems I use regularly
I was not able to reproduce the failure.
