There appears to be an idiom, (or at least a chunk of code that has been heavily copied) where *_output_mi_thunk sets reload_completed and no_new_pseudos at the top and clears them at the bottom. This appears to be the majority of the not trivial places to change and an explanation by a trained professional would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Kenny
