Hi Victor,
our typical test setup is to run the regression test with 8.5.9, tcl 8.6b1, and with 8.6head version (where i have applied the SANE-NRE-patch from Miguel). i just double-checked, for me all three test settings work fine.
does the regression work on your installation with tcl 8.6b4 (run: make test)? If they run fine, and you experience a crash with your application, the following works probably best:
Strategy a: try to isolate and pinpoint the problem from the tcl layer by simplifying your script. if the problem can be reproduced with a few lines of code, send it to me.
Strategy b: mostly for c-literate developers: use gdb.
- compile tcl and nsf with -g enabled (e.g. add it to the compile flags in the Makefile and recompile with "make clean" and "make")
- start the tcl shell under gdb, like e.g. gdb /usr/local/src/tcl8.5.9/unix/tclsh
- start your application from gdb using run ..../yourapp.tcl
- when it crashes, type in where an you will get the backtrace. maybe what you see makes sense to you. if not, send it to me, i'll try me best on it.
all the best -gustaf

I have just tried my application on latest TCL 8.6b4 and it crashes (Segmentation fault). The same application works just fine in TCL 8.5.9. Any idea how I can troubleshoot it? Tools, techniques etc?
