The choice of parameters in the define-isa clause is crucial
for variable-length instruction sets.  If any of your 32-bit
instructions contain any fixed bit patterns in the second 16
bits, you need to set "base-insn-bitsize 32", since opcodes/simulators
will need to fetch 32 bits to uniquely identify a cgen-level
instruction.  Setting that to 16 could explain what you're seeing.
