[tcljava-dev] [PATCH] Fix for Problem with loading package inside namespace

[Shawn B. <sh...@qc...>]

I took a look at the Tcl sources and Jacl sources.
The Tcl code invokes Tcl_GlobalEval to evaluate package
scripts. The Jacl code invokes Interp.eval with the GLOBAL_ONLY
flag. However this flag is essentially ignored down inside of eval/eval2
To get the same type of functionality as Tcl_GlobalEval, the
EVAL_GLOBAL flag must be set. This fixes the problem.

The one-line patch is attached.
