+The issue here is that the liveness code seems to not take into account
+the possibility that control flow jumps from the middle of a basic
+block to an exception handler. I guess this may happen in non-shared
+code, too. The fix may be to extend the lifeness of a variable that is
+used in the exception handlers to the whole region of code the handler
+refers to, if the variable was used outside.
+The change is too big to do just before a release, though.
