Lars,

I'll post your questions to the AOLserverCore list. I need an update, and a chance to hopefully nudge things along.

From what I understand right now Zoran Vasiljevic (a Core Team member) is developing on Darwin. On this platform the cd command is used behind the scenes in a number of commands, so the problem shows up very quickly. All BSD variants seem to hav e the same bug. So he discovered the bug and traced it to the passing of tcl objects (pointers?) between threads. The fix is supposed to need to change this to something threadsafe.
