Summary: old Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X 10.5 has issues with fork()/exec()
Initial Comment: Calls to sys_guicmd between fork() and exec were causing 'you must exec!' errors to do with new Frameworks policy. This patch puts the sys_guicmd before the fork, and was tested on 10.5.1

I decided to make this a bug report again, since Tcl/Tk will need to be updated to fix this. Also, here's the changelog that notes the fork() fix in question, search for 2008-03-11:

looks like the fix for this problem is included in Tcl/Tk 8.4.19, so I am closing this patch.

hmm, this patch would only have any effect if Pd was launched on the command line using /path/to/bin/pd. When you start Pd on Mac OS X, Wish/Tcl starts first, then that opens Pd. So perhaps this problem needs to be fixed in Tcl.
