     I don't think that it is a simple dereference of a null pointer;
removing ``localf'' declarations definitely improves program behavior,
and it shouldn't; the program even runs correctly in interpreted mode.
It fails for us on Opus 38.39 on SUNs but not on VAXen; we had a version
from Franz, Inc. in recently for evaluation, and it failed there too.
But our test case is complex and I haven't tried to pin it down more closely,
hoping that someone else will fix this problem or at least find a small
test case.
