Summary0000782: Closures for simul-efuns with an index > 2047 crash the driver
DescriptionFor efun, operator or simul-efun closures the efun, operator resp. simul-efun index is stored as the secondary type information. For each of these three types there are 2048 values reserved.

For simul-efuns with an index beyond 2047 closures with illegal secondary type information will be created resulting in a crash.

One solution would be to create alien lfun closures for such simul-efuns instead. As another solution the simul-efun index could be moved into the .u value (but then we would need to store the object pointer and the simul-efun index which wouldn't fit into a p_int, so we would need to allocate another memory block for that).

Third solution: Give some more values to simul-efuns (e.g. 20480) and throw a warning when this limit is reached.

Maybe discard any simul-efuns once this higher limit is reached with a warning? Better than crashing...
BTW: do private lfuns in simul_efun.c count against this limit? (My guess is no, but I am not sure).
