Enumerable#first is broken in the current HEAD. If 4 <= n < enum_length + 4, enum.first(n) returns the (n-4)th element instead of an array of n elements. E.g.:

to6 = (1..6).to_enum  # necessary so Enumerable#first is used
p to6.first(2)  # ==> [1, 2]
p to6.first(4)  # ==> 1
p to6.first(9)  # ==> 6
p to6.first(10) # ==> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

This is due to http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/repositories/diff/ruby-19/enum.c?rev=23622 , after which ary[0] holds "n" as a long instead of a Fixnum. The comparison to Qnil isn't working as desired.

Either ary[0] holds INT2NUM(len) and first_i calls NUM2LONG + INT2NUM (as per my original patch, see http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1554 ) or alternatively, enum_first could use take_i or enum_take when there is an argument, since they behave the same way in that case.
