This make file core dumps on my system. (DG AViiON DGUX 4.10)

skr:;		echo $(word 5, foo bar baz dcdc ed wed wed wed wed wed )

The reason seams to be a free of the wrong pointer in function.c. Here
is my fix.

diff function.c function.c.org
879,880c879
<       p3 = expand_argument (p + 1, end);
<       p = p3;
---
>       p = expand_argument (p + 1, end);
901c900
<       free (p3);
---
>       free (p);



Another smaller bug.
If patsubst is used without a % in the pattern as in the following makefile.

all:;	echo $(patsubst /,, $(dir doo/ddd))

On my system make loops on this makefile and takes all my memory... 
I would be nice if it would generate a error message instead.
