Sounds like a bug.  Interval analysis is some of the oldest code in  
LLVM and was never widely used (once I implemented the first dominator  
info, it became unneeded).

I wouldn't be surprised if interval analysis was totally broken.  Are  
you interested in tracking it down and fixing the problem?   
Alternatively, maybe we should remove the code from LLVM.
