No, Mark is right.  The problem is that we have "false zeros", in that
we lose alias set information on slots when we regenerate the slots 
during inline function expansion.  If it weren't for that, we could
reuse them.

I think the only proper solution to this problem is to do inline expansion
as trees before any stack anythings exist.  Then we'll never lose alias
set information, and this particular problem won't exist.

Your points about possibly not reusing memory for different sizes etc
is probably something that we should look at anyway.
