At VARKILLs, zero a variable if it is ambiguously live. After the VARKILL anything this variable references might be collected. If it were to become live again later, the GC will see references to already-collected objects. We don't know a variable is ambiguously live until very late in compilation (after lowering, register allocation, ...), so it is hard to generate the code in an arch-independent way. We also have to be careful not to clobber any registers. Fortunately, this almost never happens so performance is ~irrelevant. There are only 2 instances where this triggers in the stdlib.
