Maybe this changeset is related to the problem?

If this problem is related to that commit and 10.3, then the only thing I can think of is that Mac OS X 10.3 included a broken version of tclsh, but that doesn't seem too plausible.

I can't think of any reason for this error to only affect commands that open Portfiles.

Anything I can do to help track down what is going wrong? The "version" of tclsh on 10.3 appears just like 10.4 and 10.5 - a symbolic link to tclsh8.4

I looked through the sources for "ui_channels" and found reference in the ChangeLog to the changeset I mentioned a couple messages ago. I could try reverting that changeset and compiling, see if it works then.

I meant "You could try..."

Reverting changes just because of the name is probably a bad idea - that change was made for a reason, and there's nothing I can think of that would make that change have any problems on 10.3.

I understand the change was made for a reason. But the error message reported on Panther is "Error: Unable to open port: invalid command name 'ui_channels'" and that changeset does remove three functions called "ui_channels" from port.tcl, portindex.tcl and portmirror.tcl. I don't have Panther or I'd test it myself. Chris does have Panther and was asking for suggestions for what he could try. So I made a suggestion.
