Sorry, I meant to say why is classp->first_same_value NULL?

>From my review of the code I don't see that classp->first_same_value should
ever be NULL -- thus I suspect something has gone wrong elsewhere that
needs to be investigated.

But I could be wrong, since you've got a target & testcase which triggers
this problem you'll need to do some of the analysis.
