Avoid use of itcl scripts. It seems that for god knows what reason, tcl library I was using, was not compiled with thread support. Use of itcl, will cause heap corruptions and result to crash.

If you think, it's working 'fine' for you, you're wrong. Try running following script simultanously (repeatedly) using several clients:

bugger.itcl

set a 0
while { [incr a] < 10000 } {
;
}

*boom* :) This issue applies to all versions of io, and is addressed in coming build. (it's likely, that fixed version of dll fixes problems with current build)

darkone compiled latest tcl lib 8.4.2.5

but i think some files also need to be updated in /lib dir

at least : init.tcl package.tcl & safe.tcl

they are available in the latest activestate rls of tcl

I used the latest package for compilation. (& version included is now thread-safe)

do we need to delete the old tcl84.dll and rename this 1 ?

[darkone]

Yep, I didn't actually test it on older io version :) but if it works, it's in no way worse than the 'original' dll

Great news :D

5.6.3r full and .exe-only downloadable from members section now includes this dll... just to avoid future problems...
