/* 5.8.8 and earlier have a nasty bug in their handling of overloading:
 * The overload-flag is set on the referer of the blessed object instead of
 * the referent. That means that our late-bless logic breaks for
 * multiply-occurring objects.
 * So for 5.8.8 and earlier, the easiest workaround is to bless as we go
 * instead of blessing at the end of a decode run. Additionally, on repeatedly
 * encountered objects (REFP), we have to check the stash of the referent for
 * overloadedness and set the OVERLOAD flag (AMAGIC_on) on the NEW referer.
 *
 * Details on the perl bug in perl589delta.pod,
 * see "Reblessing overloaded objects now works".
 *
 * This is potentially a security problem (destructors!), but we really need
 * this to work on 5.8.5 for now, so let's make it work.
 * Another way of making it work might be to keep track of all occurrences
 * of objects and fix them up afterwards. That seems even more intrusive.
 * Please prove us wrong, though, since it's semantically a better fix.
 *
 * --Eric and Steffen
