summary:     Bug 584279 - TM: improve alias analysis by adding many more access regions (2nd attempt).  r=bhackett.
This is simple.  The a[0] SETELEM bounds check always fails, so we always side-exit on it (though Nanojit doesn't detect that it always fails).  However,  Nanojit does determine that the a[0] GETELEM bounds check always fails, so it complains.

This is an unlikely case, so we can just abort.  The attached patch does this.

There's no need for this to block 2.0.  In an optimized build the tracejit will generate correct but sub-optimal code.
