stream overlay breaks with obj-ref turned On

There is a bug in object serialization when streaming
complex objects with "Object Referencing" turned on.
The problem arises when overlaying a stream on a non-
pointer object.

void example (void)
{
txList list;
list.insert(new txString("ABC-134"));

txOut out;
out.objectReferencingOn(); // turn obj-ref on.

out << list;
list.clearAndDestroy();

// this will fail
in >> list;

// this will work
txList *plist
in >> plist;
}

This example will work for both cases if "Object
Referencing" is turned off (off by default). I will
deliver a fix in the next release.
