Situation update: All thread-related issues mentioned have been fixed except for whatever is causing the interp-36.7 failures. Here are the gory details: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3544685&group_id=10894&atid=110894 Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated since it seems to be the last problem holding back a move to threaded Tcl. It's all a bit beyond me and there aren't many other tcl/obsd people in tcl-land who have the time/skill to look into this, so, yeah, as mentioned, help would be great. I'm available for testing and trying out stuff. Thanks, Stu
