 XOTcl used XOTCL_UNKNOWN to flag the situation, where 
 a filter catches an unknown call, such that the dispatcher
 knows when to call "unknown" in the presence of filters.

 i have changed the internal communication from the tcl
 return code to an internal flag. XOTCL_UNKNOWN is 
 gone, both of the above examples do work now (i.e.
 will work in the forthcoming version).

 With Zoran's help with the wonderful purify, i fixed over the
 weekend an old bug showing up in the new extended regression
 test (access to freed memory), so the biggest blocker of 
 the new release is gone. we should check, how to deal
 with the recent glitches showing up here...
