>Description:
_builtin_apply passes incorrect arguments
to the function it calls.
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -o myfile myfile.c
./myfile
observe that output is NOT "foo(1,2)" as it
should be.
note that the right thing happens if
assert(0) in docall is removed.
i have a more complicated example that
exhibits the misbehavior but does not
contain code after the builtin_return,
available upon request
