This sounds like it might be an artifact of the optimiser
(temporarily holding a value in a register for example).
If you are tracing execution at that level of detail it's a
good idea to disable all optimisations. Otherwise it can be
confusing to follow.
Of course if the problem you are trying to solve only
happens in the optimised EXE - you can't do that <g>
