[Xotcl] ::xotcl::object autoname crashes in Tcl 8.5

[Mark Janssen]

When using XOTcl 1.4 or 1.5 on Tcl 8.5 creating an instance with an autoname
crashes the Tcl process. On 8.4.13 it works:

XOTcl 1.4

> tclsh
% set tcl_patchLevel
8.4.13
% package require XOTcl
1.4.0
% ::xotcl::Object autoname a
a0
%

>tclsh
% package require XOTcl
1.4.0
%  set tcl_patchLevel
8.5a5
% ::xotcl::Object autoname a
# crash with access violation

XOTcl 1.5


> tclsh
% package require XOTcl
1.5.0
% set tcl_patchLevel
8.4.13
% ::xotcl::Object autoname a
a1
%

> tclsh
% package require XOTcl
1.5.0
% set tcl_patchLevel
8.5a5
% ::xotcl::Object autoname a
# crashed with access violation

% parray tcl_platform
tcl_platform(byteOrder) = littleEndian
tcl_platform(machine)   = intel
tcl_platform(os)        = Windows NT
tcl_platform(osVersion) = 5.1
tcl_platform(platform)  = windows
tcl_platform(threaded)  = 1
tcl_platform(user)      = mjanssen
tcl_platform(wordSize)  = 4

Is this a known problem? I am able to work around it by only using new and
create.

Regards,
Mark
