----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 When defining a procedure using a lambda with an improper argument list
 with five or more required arguments, then passing those arguments to
 apply, I get strange behavior including segmentation faults when this
 procedure is called incorrectly.  Below is an example:
 {{{
 (define foo
   (lambda (a b c d e . f)
     (apply list a b c d e f)))
 }}}

 If I call this procedure with the wrong number of arguments, such as in:
 {{{
 (foo 1)
 }}}

 I get a segfault on chicken 3.1.0 built on 32-bit and 64-bit Gentoo Linux
 boxes.  I also get this same behavior on chicken 2.732 (only tested on 64-
 bit).

 Is this an apply-hack problem?
