The string table argument of Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() is stored in the Tcl_Obj's internal representation and thus must live at a fixed address, or we have a memory smash waiting to happen.

For reference: http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/11472/

The attached patch fixes the 3 instances of the problem found in tclAE.
