> 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
>     }
