Summary: buffer overflow with >9 arguments to action routine

Initial Comment:
There is an limit of the number of arguments to an action routine (its 9), which is not checked, if you pass more than 9 arguments to the routine. I suspect, that this is a left over from removing the <=9 arguments limit for macro subroutines.

Here are two proposals:

A) check the number of arguments for <=9

or

B) remove this limitation from action routines, too

both proposals are implemented in the attached patches, respectively.

Any preferences?
