#893: calling event handler via local variable doesn't work

 Calling an event handler (using the "event" statement)
 does not seem to work when the event handler being called
 is actually a local variable assigned to an existing
 event handler.

 There is a test case for this in the file
 bro/testing/btest/language/event.bro:

 event e4(num: count) {...}

 event bro_init()
     {
         [...]
         # Test assigning an event variable to an event
         local e5: event(num: count);
         e5 = e4;
         event e5(6);  # TODO: this does not do anything
     }
