PATCH: pws-25: eval bug

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The eval builtin didn't save and restore the lexical state (really the
history state, but they're bound up together).  This showed up when I added
an eval to insert-files, which fixed the problem with parentheses I
mentioned yesterday, but caused the curious side-effect that although the
function seemed to run OK, hitting return on the generated command line
behaved as if it had got EOF.  This was because stophist was set to 2 to
read the eval string, and never got put back.  There were probably other
history effects, too.

I presume it's as simple as getting bin_eval() to use parse_string(), which
is there for that purpose, and does almost exactly what bin_eval() was
doing except that it restores the state properly.  Can anyone think of a
good reason why eval wasn't using parse_string() already?

Maybe this is needed in 3.0.6, although the problem would have to show up
in a different place.
