I found (and fixed) a bug in `deep_twin':

    * Fixed bug (read/write to non-allocated memory) in implementation of
      `deep_twin' when traversing objects of type SPECIAL.

Do you know if `deep_twin' is used in your program? It might explain
the weird behavior that you get if the memory gets corrupted in such
a way.

I also improved things when declaring user-defined expanded types,
in particular when creating SPECIAL objects of expanded). Feature
`default_create' is still not called on initialization, and `copy'
is still not called on reattachment. If neither of these are redefined
in your user-defined expanded types, then it should now be safe to
use them.
