That would be good, because the current fix (which is already
committed to CVS HEAD, and which removes the setting of the
procedure-property) still leaves code in modules.c which expects the
procedure-property to be set.  If Han-Wen's fix is to be kept, then
you should, at least, remove that code. The consequence is that it
will no longer be possible to lookup the module of the eval closure
for any kind of closures except the standard ones (which are
implemented as a smob).
