[svn-r19587] Description:

	Address issue with object headers being created getting evicted from
the metadata cache cache before they are completely initialized.  This is
done by pinning the object header in the cache until it is completely
initialized and attached to a group.

Tested on:
        FreeBSD/32 6.3 (duty) in debug mode
        FreeBSD/64 6.3 (liberty) w/C++ & FORTRAN, in debug mode
        Linux/32 2.6 (jam) w/PGI compilers, w/default API=1.8.x,
                w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe, in debug mode
        Linux/64-amd64 2.6 (amani) w/Intel compilers, w/default API=1.6.x,
                w/C++ & FORTRAN, in production mode
        Solaris/32 2.10 (linew) w/deprecated symbols disabled, w/C++ & FORTRAN,
                w/szip filter, w/threadsafe, in production mode
        Linux/PPC 2.6 (heiwa) w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe, in debug mode
        Linux/64-ia64 2.6 (cobalt) w/Intel compilers, w/C++ & FORTRAN,
                in production mode
        Linux/64-amd64 2.6 (abe) w/parallel, w/FORTRAN, in debug mode
        Mac OS X/32 10.6.4 (amazon) in debug mode
        Mac OS X/32 10.6.4 (amazon) w/C++ & FORTRAN, w/threadsafe,
                in production mode
        Mac OS X/32 10.6.4 (amazon) w/parallel, in debug mode
