* generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug
1904907]. Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the lesser evil.
