* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclCleanupLiteralTable): Corrected

        * tests/compile.test (compile-12.4):    flawed deletion of literal
        internal reps that could lead to accessing of freed memory.
        Thanks to Kevin Kenny for test case and fix [Bug 1001997].

+    # Tcl Bug 1001997
+    # Here, we're trying to test a case that causes a crash in
+    # TclCleanupLiteralTable.  The conditions that we're trying to
+    # establish are:
+    # - TclCleanupLiteralTable is attempting to clean up a bytecode
+    #   object in the literal table.
+    # - The bytecode object in question contains the only reference
+    #   to another literal.
+    # - The literal in question is in the same hash bucket as the bytecode
+    #   object, and immediately follows it in the chain.
+    # Since newly registered literals are added at the FRONT of the
+    # bucket chains, and since the bytecode object is registered before
+    # its literals, this is difficult to achieve.  What we do is:
+    #  (a) do a [namespace eval] of a string that's calculated to
+    #      hash into the same bucket as a literal that it contains.
+    #      In this case, the script and the variable 'bugbug' 
+    #      land in the same bucket.
+    #  (b) do a [namespace eval] of a string that contains enough
+    #      literals to force TclRegisterLiteral to rebuild the global
+    #      literal table.  The newly created hash buckets will contain
+    #      the literals, IN REVERSE ORDER, thus putting the bytecode
+    #      immediately ahead of 'bugbug' and 'bug4345bug'.  The bytecode
+    #      object will contain the only references to those two literals.
+    #  (c) Delete the interpreter to invoke TclCleanupLiteralTable
+    #      and tickle the bug.
