[PATCH] variable size arrays in nested functions

Hi!

The testcase below causes in ICE in expand_expr in gcc-2.96-RH. The issue is
that any SAVE_EXPR's generated from grokdeclarator for the function
arguments get context of the containing function, not the function they
belong to (or 0 if the function is not nested).
With current CVS head, the wrong SAVE_EXPR's are generated as well but for
some reason don't make it into expand_expr in this case so the ICE does not
happen (the abort() is because SAVE_EXPR corresponding to variable size
array argument's size doesn't have SAVE_EXPR_RTL attached yet and has non-NULL
context which is different from current function).
Does a patch like this look ok? It causes all SAVE_EXPRs for parameters
to have NULL context meaning they can be used in current function (ie.
nested one in this case).
Bootstrapped on i386-redhat-linux, no regressions.

	* c-decl.c (push_parm_decl): Call grokdeclarator always with
	current_function_decl == 0, even for nested functions.

	* gcc.c-torture/execute/20010209-1.c: New test.
