Dunno.  Robert -- can you see what the SCO compilers do with this stuff?
That might be interesting.

I'm not sure this is safe either.  Consider what happens at basic block
boundaries to the regstack.   I believe variables location relative to 
the bottom of the stack can change at a basic block boundary.
