It is propagate_tree_value_into_stmt not properly updating SSA form.  The
following patch fixes that - but it looks bogus that PRE sees

  t_12 = new 1000;

as equivalent to t_12 = &g.

Which is a separate issue.  I suppose you can make a runtime testcase
out of it and file a bug?

Thanks,
Richard.
