Here is some code that worked before:

Kristoffer, yes this was a bug, error message propagation from methods called by configure did not work properly. This bug was introduced by making xotcl more robust against panics that might occure, when append result is called with a shared object, resetting the result and the inner error message in this case.

Below is a small patch, that will go into the next versions of xotcl.

Many thanks for the report... -gustaf neumann
