Summary: segfault in optimize_code()

Initial Comment:
The function optimize_code() is called, for example 
when unpickling code objects.  However, with corrupt 
data it can cause segfaults.

This is because of code such as:
tgt = GETJUMPTGT(codestr, (i+1))
if (codestr[tgt])
    continue;

tgt can in this case easily be some nonsense and 
cause access violation when used as an index into 
codestr.  This behaviour has been observed.

My particular patch is this:
#define CHECK_I(i) do {if ((i)<0 || (i)>=codelen) 
goto exitError;}while(0)
#define CHECKARG(i) do {CHECK_I(i+1); CHECK_I(i+2);}
while(0)
#define CHECKJUMPTGT(i) do{CHECKARG(i); CHECK_I(i);}
while(0)

then, adding tests such as
CHECKJUMPTGT(j);
  before code that looks like
tgt = GETJUMPTGT(j);
  and
CHECK_I(tgt);
  before
codestr[tgt] = foo;

Also, this function needs to be able to raise an 
exception.  jcompile() must be able to deal with this 
case.

Finally, this is also an issue in 2.3 (actually, I 
discovered it there, but a quick look seems to 
indicate it being a problem in 2.4 too.
