LLVM: array(2, x) creates an empty array

[Matt Giuca]

Expected:
?> array(2, 42)
[42, 42]

Actual:
?> array(2, 42)
[]

Only when using the LLVM backend.

This seems to be a memory corruption issue related to the garbage collector. Replacing all uses of GC_malloc with malloc resolves the issue.

Also, the issue only occurs in the interpreter, not in the compiled code.

Fixed in branch 'llvm-backend' r1308.

Yep, it was memory corruption, due to a <= that should have been < in a loop in the built-in implementation of array().
