Thanks for noting this problem. This is a (known) issue in closure 
conversion, and we are working on fixing it. There is a use before 
allocation/initialization problem in the case of closures built for 
mutually recursive functions defined in a letrec. This is also the cause 
for some unit tests to currently segfault (at run time).

Swaroop.
