perl5.8.8 + cat 5.80's Cat::Test->ctx_request didn't return $c the 2nd

time it was invoked. Without tracking the bug down all the way, it was
clearly related to the Moose'ification of Cat::Test and a scoping issue
with a 'my'd variable. Since the same code works fine in 5.10, a bug in
either Moose or perl 5.8 is suspected.
Khisanth++ for the elegant patch.
