A system has a root class which explicitly names `default_create' as creation procedure and redefines `default_create' to print something. The Ace file specifies the root class, but does not specify a creation procedure. After initial compilation where the system is melted, system execution correctly calls the redefined default_create. But when the system is finalized with no changes, the finalized system produces no output and the redefined `default_create' has been removed by dead code removal. Discovered in Release 5.4.0403.
