I don't think that we have really fixed this bug already, because with
Tcl_VariableObjCmd & Tcl_UpVar (which we have used), we can't get around this
problem. I've implemented a solution, which is rather complicated & copies
alot of Tcl's internal code, because Tcl does not export some important
functions ...
I hope we find something more simple ... but I'll attach the fix for the time
being. If you require it now, please exchange the function
GetInstVarAliasIntoCurrentScope in xotcl.c against the code attached down
below. Otherwise, it'll be also in 0.84.
