There are still some minor bugs in the current implementation, which
is fixed by the attached patch:

passed bootstrap/regression tests for both google-4_6 and google-main branch.

ok for google branch?

Thanks,
Dehao

	* predict.c (predict_iv_comparison): Add new parameter, ensure that
	the loop_iv_base and compare_base are identical.
