Summary: Patch for destructor chaining bug (#1440882)

Initial Comment:
Base class destructors are not called properly executed 
if the derived class is in a different namespace but 
has the same name as the base class.

This bug has already been reported as #1440882 and 
#1064491.

I have just run into the same bug, which manifested 
itself as a memory leak because the base class 
destructor did not get called, and thus did not delete 
some member objects.

The bug reports quoted above include an example, and 
indicate how to fix the bug in the [incr Tcl] source.

I decided to send in a patch file in the hope that this 
has a better chance of getting applied.

Here's a test case:

package require Itcl

namespace eval X {
  variable Xi 0

  itcl::class A {
    constructor {} {
      incr ::X::Xi
      puts "X::A::constructor"
    }

    destructor {
        incr ::X::Xi -1
        puts "X::A::destructor"
    }
  }
}

namespace eval Y {
  itcl::class A {
    inherit ::X::A

    constructor {} {
      puts "Y::A::constructor"
    }

    destructor {
      puts "Y::A::destructor"
    }
  }
}

set b [Y::A \#auto]
itcl::delete object $b

if {$::X::Xi eq 0} {
    puts "Test passed."
} else {
    puts "Test failed."
}
