    We scan backwards from the end of a block.  If we see a register used,
    and it had been dead, it becomes live.  If a register is either set or
    clobbered -- we do not care which -- it becomes dead.

I guess that's true.  I'm just concerned about having a situation where
a phase of the compiler can think a register is dead when it isn't.
