RFC-24 for symbolObjs is done

[Umberto Nicoletti]

Thanks Frank!
Does this also fix the problem mentioned by Assefa?

I usually run the msautotest suite before cvs commits and I did not
notice segfaults...maybe they scrolled past the screen along with
other failures.

We should probably detect and differentiate segfaults in the
msautotest suite from generic failures to make sure they dont' go
unseen. I'll open a ticket to remind us of this.

I'll run the msautotest suite right now to make sure it is all okay.

Thanks to all,
Umberto
