Confirmed by TM.

The problem appears to be in CSE (log is slightly edited for readability):

[04:43] <tm3> it keeps calling delete_reg_equiv(regno = 122)
[04:43] <tm3> delete_reg_equiv thinks the equivalence is invalid, so it punts 
and just returns
[04:43] <tm3> and it keeps getting called over and over again
[04:44] <pinskia> Law added flush_hash_table in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-
patches/1999-04n/msg00240.html
[04:53] <tm3> yah, it looks like flush_hash_table is trying to clear the 
equivalences for reg 22? and going into an infinite loop
[04:54] <tm3> no...hash entry 22
[04:59] <DannyB> the algorithm for memory equivalances is O(n^2)
[05:00] <DannyB> so it just flushes every x insns to keep it fast
[05:02] <DannyB> " /* If we have processed 1,000 insns, flush the hash table to
[05:02] <DannyB>    avoid extreme quadratic behavior."

So, it looks like the underlying algorithm should be fixed instead.

TM: can you please provide the preprocessed testcase that shows this bug? Also, 
which branch did you bootstrap to confirm this?
