0027-skill: Prevent multiple overflows in ENLIST(). 

First problem: saved_argc was used to calculate the size of the array,
but saved_argc was never initialized. This triggers an immediate heap-
based buffer overflow:

$ skill -c0 -c0 -c0 -c0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Second problem: saved_argc was not the upper bound anyway, because one
argument can ENLIST() several times (for example, in parse_namespaces())
and overflow the array as well.

Third problem: integer overflow of the size of the array.
