1.0.37.69: Avoid emitting instructions (LODS, MOVSXD) that confuse others

 * LODS is probably slow nowadays, and isn't supported by valgrind. Remove
   one use in calling VOPs.

 * Some disassemblers don't like useless (e.g. 32 bit to 32 bit) MOVSXD.
   Convert them to MOV.

   * enhancement: eliminate some spurious TYPE-WARNINGs. Should help with
