+	compiled_function objects from creation until first use, thus
+	avoiding a bug in the portable dumper. See mail with subject
+	"Symbol's value as variable is void: region" in the July 2003

+	* alloc.c (make_compiled_function): initialize args, max_args,

+	* bytecode.c (optimize_compiled_function): Added allocation and
+	initialization of args array.
+	* eval.c (function_argcount): Added call to
