This bug is fixed by following chage in GCC 3.0. 

gcc/gcc/ChangeLog.3:

2000-04-24  Hiroyuki Machida <machida@sm.sony.co.jp>

        * combine.c (try_combine): Update reg_nonzero_bits of
        newi2pat before newpat.


Please refer mail archives at gcc.gnu.org for details.
You can easily apply this fix to gcc-2.95.x.
