SEGFAULT: ARGF.gets will crash if first file is not readable!

Backport:

Description

=begin
Hi, welcome to crash golf ;).

ruby -e 'gets rescue gets' CRASH!

or some alternative forms of it:

ARGV.unshift 'filename_that_does_not_exist'
ARGF.gets rescue nil
ARGF.gets

or

$*.unshift'X'
$<.fileno rescue $<.fileno

However, if the first arg is readable, everything will be fine.

I've produced that error on various 1.9 versions.

1.8.7 (tested on p330) does not segfault, but displays a weird error message:

ruby -e 'gets rescue gets' CRASH!
-e:1:in gets': private method gets' called for false:FalseClass (NoMethodError)

Appended the segfault info and a patch.
