Thanks!

In my experiments, yes. Maybe it's about fall through-only BBs, or something more subtle in the MC semantics, but I definitely needed to add a specific case for entry in a new BB.

To be honest, this wasn't in my first version of the patch, but when I looked back at the other thread, I saw that it was addressing this issue too. I do not feel strongly about that, I definitely could go without that part of the patch.
