From: Andrew Fish <af...@apple.com>

The local variable PpiArray[10] is declared in the middle
of the SEC module _ModuleEntryPoint() with its own scope.
However, PpiArray has a dangling reference to its location
on the stack after the scope is closed.  This causes issues
with some compilers (e.g. XCODE5).

The fix is to move the declaration of PpiArray[10] to
the beginning of the function, so it is scoped correctly
for all references to this local variable and references
to its location.
