Same problem.  Specifically:

  void
  func(int a)
    {
    int count;
    int i;

    count = a;

    if (count >= 256)
      return;
    for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
      subr();
    }

results in:

BB 2
    reg 26
        min <integer_cst 82984cc -2147483648>     max <integer_cst 8298530 254>

where BB 2 is the top of the loop and reg 26 is i.  The problem is likely
to be solved once I find some time. :-)  In which case the bounds will be
known for both constants and variables with known limiting values.
