Bug 5091921: Sign flip issues in loop optimizer

[Tom Rodriguez]

Yes, there's no indication that 7024475 is related to the sign flip issue.  I've been working on other issues for the last week but I'm back looking at this.  I can see that the outer loop bound is getting getting reset to its initial value when we start the OSR code.  I'm still tracking down why it occurs.
