Depending of the processing order the folding process may happen in the loop in `PhaseIterGVN::transform_old()` instead of going through the worklist. That blows through the loop limit, which triggers assert. The solution is to make the loop limit proportional to the number of live nodes. I chose it to be `K*live_nodes()`, which is already the limit in `PhaseIterGVN::optimize()`. I also noticed the same problem in `PhaseGVN::transform_no_reclaim()` and adjusted the code accordingly.
