Lethal option-related bug

I just submitted a batch job for the first time with an unpatched
3.0-pre4 and it dumped core straight away. (I think the shell is
still yelling out `Don't release me! Don't release me!'.)
It turns out to be easy to reproduce:
./zsh -s
zsh: 7863 segmentation fault (core dumped) ./zsh -s
The backtrace is
#0 0x47d9b4 in inittyptab () at utils.c:2510
#1 0x47fed4 in dosetopt (optno=92, value=1, force=268534416) at utils.c:3330
#2 0x447094 in parseargs (argv=0x7fffaf48) at init.c:242
#3 0x4463f0 in main (argc=0, argv=0x7fffaf44) at init.c:60
and the problem is that ifs is null in inittyptab; possibly not too
surprising, since it gets initialised in setupvals(), which is called
a few lines after parseargs() in main(). It looks like SHINSTDIN
wants inittytab set up before the shell's set up enough for it.
I could probably hack round this, but I'm not confident of producing
the right fix, so I'll leave it.
