Without a closer look, it might or might not be the same issue, 
depending on whether the problem is in the IR-level 
transformations (unlikely), the LLVM EH codegen or our 
personality function. I didn't really look at the problem yet 
besides reducing it, will tackle #340 (std.bigint) first.

For everyone just following this thread: The issue in its reduced 
form (see GitHub #328) occurs also with LLVM 3.2, but is 
triggered as part of normal testsuite runs with 3.3, likely 
because of the inliner being more aggressive.

Kai, do you have time to look into this, or should I try to 
squeeze it in my schedule for tomorrow? I'd love to be able to 
release a beta on Sunday, so that we have a stable base to tackle 
the 2.063 merge (including shared libraries), DDMD, ARM, etc. 
from.
