Marius Gerbershagen 33aa5a3941 fix bug in finalizer implementation
We need to save and restore the reference to the current function in
the environment before calling any finalizers. Otherwise, it can
happen that this is overwritten after we have set it but before
actually calling the function. This can lead to all sorts of issues
because closure environments are wrong or variadic dispatch doesn't
work correctly.

The bug appeared intermittently when compiling maxima from a version
of ECL compiled with CFLAGS="-DECL_C_COMPATIBLE_VARIADIC_DISPATCH" and
--disable-threads.

ECL stands for Embeddable Common-Lisp. The ECL project aims to produce an implementation of the Common-Lisp language which complies to the ANSI X3J13 definition of the language.

The term embeddable refers to the fact that ECL includes a Lisp to C compiler, which produces libraries (static or dynamic) that can be called from C programs. Furthermore, ECL can produce standalone executables from Lisp code and can itself be linked to your programs as a shared library. It also features an interpreter for situations when a C compiler isn't available.

ECL supports the operating systems Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris (at least v. 9), Microsoft Windows (MSVC, MinGW and Cygwin) and OSX, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha, ARM and PowerPC processors. Porting to other architectures should be rather easy.
