[chuck] Windows XP crash

[Ge Wang]

Hi Gary!

We have reproduced a crash - it happens when
the main shred exits.  (is it the same problem?)

We tracked down the cause to a bad stack offset
for float variables declared without explicit initialization,
followed by operations that write to the operand stack:

     float foo;
     "bar" => stdout;

we have also put a workaround - you can download
the XP executable (1.1.5.4b):

     http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/release/snapshots/

For platforms other than XP, we have put a source
file that contains the change (chuck_emit.cpp).

Another temporary fix is to just initialize all floats.

Best,
Ge!
