info globals behaves differently in 8.4.6 and 8.4.9

Hi

I observed the following differences in the tcl versions 8.4.6 and
8.4.9:

TCL (8.4.6)
------------------
proc foo {} {
puts "-->[info globals PATH]-->"
global PATH
puts "-->[info globals PATH]-->"
}

% foo
% -->-->
% -->-->

TCL (8.4.9)
------------------
proc foo {} {
puts "-->[info globals PATH]-->"
global PATH
puts "-->[info globals PATH]-->"
}

% foo
% -->-->
% -->PATH-->

Can somebody help me out in understanding the difference - as to why
this change in behaviour.

Regards
Sharad
