I thought that there was a problem with aggregate_value_p when, after reading 
that comment, I attempted to set DECL_RESULT to 0 in a toy front end that I 
am working and the result was a segmentation fault inside aggregate_value_p.

Thank you very much for showing that the problem was in the comment.
