[LLVMdev] Use still stuck around after Def is destroyed:

[Duncan Sands]

Hi ret val,

perhaps this happens when the module is being deleted.  If so, it might
mean that you forgot to add the global variable to the module.  Otherwise,
I suggest you fire up a debugger and rummage around.

Ciao, Duncan.
