Hello, Please be aware that when you compile tcl8.0 for Alpha, that you absolutely MUST not use any -O2 or -O3 or greater value. If you do, you mess up the Tcl networking due to a bug in our compiler. For those of you running automated builds, please don't compile Tcl8.0 with it unless you are running something that deals with this problem. I'm now doing a binary-only NMU to fix the current one. Thanks, John
