I don't see this behavior.  On my machine, I get:
$ lli scalarise.bc
testSimple: 10
testCyclic: 20 30 40
testNestedStruct: 50 0.142857 (nil) (nil)
testNestedArray: 60 0.571428 65 0.285714
testCompare: 70
DONE

Because of this, I would guess that you are causing some kind of undefined
behavior.  In particular you may be free'ing memory allocated with the
'alloca' instruction, or you may be multiply free'ing memory, or you may
be freeing a pointer that was not allocated with malloc (offset with a
getelementptr in some way).

Hope this helps,

-Chris
