Kumar made me aware of the fact that env->prog->aux_arena should never
be NULL if the program has an addr_space_cast instruction. This means
that rather than checking for the NULL pointer here and leaving the
addr_space_cast as it is, We should reject programs that contain an
addr_space_cast instruction but don't have an associated arena.
