Or actually better, this lighter-weight patch. Will commit after the
usual testing.

        * ira.c (ira): Remove DF_LIVE if the problem is in the stack.
       (do_reload): Add it back at the end.

I returned to this problem several times and every time I failed to use 
LIVE info (may be I was not so persistent to solve the problem or had 
few time for this).  Your problem description helped me to remember what 
I saw many years ago.

May be this patch is even better because we don't need to spend time to 
calculate DF_LIVE although as Kenny wrote DF_LIVE might help for extreme 
tests as DF_LIVE is more compact than DF_LR.
