I don't know how to interpret this comment.  There are 124 hits of "Lucier"
in gcc-bugs; the report I referred to in my original post,

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-prs/2000-q4/msg00208.html

shows exactly where the bad code is inserted.  I just don't know how to
use gdb on cc1 to break precisely when gcse attempts to add this code
to this block to find out *why* it wants to do this.
