Hi,

It seems that error messages generated during object creation get lost sometimes. An example (using XOTcl 1.5.3 and tcl8.4.12):

Define a class and a method foo with a typo in it:

% Class C ::C % C instproc foo {} {puds foo}

When foo is called on an existing object, we get the right error message: % C c ::c % c foo invalid command name "puds"

However when foo is called during object creation, the error message is lost: % C d -foo during '::d foo' % set errorInfo during '::d foo' ::d ::xotcl::Object->configure ::C ::xotcl::Class->create ::C ::xotcl::Class->unknown invoked from within "C d -foo"
