Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: mescalinum (mescalinum) Summary: [tclpd] opening tclfile help patches crashes pd-extended

Initial Comment: When I launch Pd-extended 0.43 2011-11-15 32-bit on Mac OS X 10.6.8/Intel, then open delete-help.pd, exists-help.pd, etc. I get this error from Tcl, then Pd-extended quits:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name "Pt_Start()" while executing "Pt_Start() called" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 $cmd_from_pd"

This crash seems to really be a Tcl panic triggering a quit. Ideally, tclpd would catch the panic and just have the (Tcl) dump to the Pd window. Here's the backtrace: #0 0x910a4c5a in __kill () #1 0x910a4c4c in kill$UNIX2003 () #2 0x911375a5 in raise () #3 0x9114d6e4 in abort () #4 0x0188045f in Tcl_PanicVA () #5 0x0188047a in Tcl_Panic () #6 0x0185fc57 in Tcl_RegisterChannel () #7 0x01869263 in Tcl_CreateChannel () #8 0x0180ee08 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #9 0x0184c44e in TclStackAlloc () #10 0x0188c6e3 in TclObjInterpProcCore () #11 0x0180ee08 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #12 0x0184c44e in TclStackAlloc () #13 0x0188c6e3 in TclObjInterpProcCore () #14 0x0180ee08 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #15 0x0184c44e in TclStackAlloc () #16 0x0188c6e3 in TclObjInterpProcCore () #17 0x0180ee08 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #18 0x0180f191 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #19 0x01811b09 in Tcl_GetVersion () #20 0x01811eb1 in Tcl_EvalEx () #21 0x01887bc9 in TclFreePackageInfo () #22 0x01887dea in Tcl_PkgRequireProc () #23 0x01888a2f in Tcl_PkgProvide () #24 0x0180ee08 in Tcl_ListMathFuncs () #25 0x01811b09 in Tcl_GetVersion () #26 0x01811eb1 in Tcl_EvalEx () #27 0x0186fe5a in Tcl_FSEvalFileEx () #28 0x01870dce in Tcl_EvalFile () #29 0x0077f39e in tclpd_do_load_lib ()
