Oh, so you had to go back to using StructNode in order to get this
fixed?  That's weird.  Is it just because InputFunctionCallSafe is
defined to take fmNodePtr?  (I still fail to see that a pointer to
ErrorSaveContext would differ in any material way from a pointer to
Node).


Another think I thought was weird is that it would only crash in LLVM5
debug and not the other LLVM-enabled animals, but looking closer at the
buildfarm results, I think that may have been only because you reverted
too quickly, and phycodorus and petalura didn't actually run with
7fbc75b26ed8 before you reverted it.  Dragonet did make a run with it,
but it's marked as "LLVM optimized" instead of "LLVM debug".  I suppose
that must be making a difference.
