Summary: Math: "l" function has problem when array is dyn. allocated

Initial Comment:
The "l" function which returns the length of an array
shows wrongly the number of items when the array is
dynamically allocated. Whenever the number of items is
even, it increments the value by 1.

Examples (using Math Test script):

a = {}
r0 = l(a)

This returns 1. Wrong.

a = {}
a[0] = "1"
r0 = l(a)

This returns 1. Right.

a = {}
a[0] = "1"
a[1] = "2"
r0 = l(a)

This returns 3. Wrong.

...

Nop, it still doesn't work:

a = {}
a[0] = "1"
a[1] = "2"
a[2] = 0
r0 = l(a)

gives the same exact "3".

It might be treating the arary as a string. In this case,
there's no null termination and that could cause the wrong
result. I haven't looked into it yet, but it reminds me of
this one:
