It...  Er...

You have a function that takes a function pointer argument and is... returning 
a function pointer?  Ah yes, the comments say that.  (I don't think I've ever 
declared a function that returns a function pointer before.  Or seen it 
declared.  So that's what it looks like?)

Argument is pointer named p that's to a function "void p(void)".  Check.  So 
what's left would look like:

  void ((*static_stub1(xxx)) (void))

Return value is a pointer to a function "void blah(void)";  Check, I think.  
(How does anyone survive lisp?)

Right.  One line fix with evil nasty test case.

Applied.
