Very good point.  Note that I did the reverse: I ordered the compiler to 
inline all functions only-called-once.

This might have produced a gigantic "first function" with - indeed - >

To put this into perspective:  I am not surprised that this might fail - 
I simply try to figure out if this is an error in some pass, or a design 
limitation ...
