* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed bug #504642 as
reported by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>,
using his patch. Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an
unannounced reference to the interp result to store the read
line into. This unfortunately has disastrous results if the
channel driver executes a tcl script to perform its operation,
this freeing the interp result. In that case we are
dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only
causes us to smash the free list and have the error occur later
somewhere else. The patch simply creates a new object for the
line and later sets it into the interp result when we are done
with reading.
