Summary: Silence AIX C Compiler Warnings.

Initial Comment:
AIX 3.2.5 C compiler gives warnings during compile of 
Objects/object.c and Modules/signalmodule.c due to
superfluous use of the ampersand address operator in 
front of a function name.  Since the code elsewhere 
consistently uses plain `foo' to represent a pointer to
the function foo and not `&foo' it seems best to make
the code consistent and silence these warnings at the
same time.

Dear nnorwitz, I'm aware that gcc doesn't issue the warning.
However, AIX 3.2.5's C compiler does.  And the source
consistently omits the ampersand elsewhere.  So there seems
little reason not to make the change and increase the
number of `clean' builds out there.  Cheers, Ralph.

Builds for me without warnings on Linux gcc 2.96 & 
solaris 8, gcc 2.95.3.
