Synopsis: Finalized system with root creation procedure with args can't rescue exception

Description

Finalizing a system with a root creation procedure that has a single
argument of type ARRAY [STRING] works fine.  The procedure calls
args.item (1).to_integer.  Executing the system with no arguments should
result in either a call on Void target or a seg fault, depending on 
compilation options in the config file and the resulting exception should
be able to be rescued.  Instead, system execution crashes with a seg fault
and no exception trace.

It appears that no exception is raised or that if it is, the rescue clause
cannot retry it.

This might be a compiler problem rather a runtime problem.

To Reproduce

Finalize with attached class and config file.
Execute system with no arguments.
Crashes with segmentation fault.  A frozen system correctly prints "Retry OK".

This bug was fixed in rev 77835 (I verified that eweasel test except029 now
passes on Solaris SPARC 64-bit).  Closing report.

This test also fails on OpenSolaris x86 and OpenSolaris x64.

Reopening since this test still fails on Solaris-Sparc 64-bit.
