Test case

I upgraded to XCode 4.6 (4H127) and noticed static analyzer false positives
relating to floating point comparisons. I've boiled this behavior down to the
attached test case.

The real-world code inspiring this test case is admittedly gross, but I believe
it to be correct: if a floating point value does not equal a constant in one
expression, it will still not equal that constant in a subsequent expression.
In other words, I believe floating-point comparisons to be deterministic, but
the static analyzer appears to believe otherwise.
