I was going to ask if this is already upstream and if you had a
reference to the upstream version control, but GNU bc doesn't seem to
have any public vcs (or any real activity).
I see the latest alpha release is from 2006, and that one does make
save_adr static and NEWS contains the following note:
Bug fixes:
fixes bug in load_code introduced by mathlib string storage in 1.06.
I personally don't use bc, but if people (and other distributions) think
the 1.06.95 alpha version is better then lets use it.
A quick look at the Debian package shows that they are carrying some
patches that might be interesting, E.G. 03_array_initialize.diff seems
like a clear bugfix:

Care to send a patch to bump the version with this info?
