Hi,

Wondering if you can help with a problem.

I am attempting to preload the trf accelerated version of tcllib's
::md5::md5 in our naviserver config.

As a simplified testcase to demonstrate what's happening I can do the
following:

- use a default configuration of naviserver, e.g. in /usr/local/ns
- copy osborne-procs.tcl to
/usr/local/ns/modules/tcl/osborne-procs.tclwhere osborne-procs.tcl
contains:

package require Trf
package require md5

- use the sample config as distributed with naviserver
/usr/local/ns/bin/nsd -c -u nsadmin -t /usr/local/ns/conf/nsd-config.tcl

I get the following result:

% ::md5::md5 -hex teststring
invalid command name "Hex"

This seems to be because the tcllib md5x.tcl code, checks for the Trf
package, and if present sets up an interp alias for the ::md5::Hex command.
And this seems to be getting lost somewhere.

line 502:
http://tcllib.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tcllib/tcllib/modules/md5/md5x.tcl?revision=1.19&view=markup

If I subsequently add the alias manually everything is fine:
% interp alias {} ::md5::Hex {} ::hex -mode encode --
::md5::Hex
% ::md5::md5 -hex teststring
D67C5CBF5B01C9F91932E3B8DEF5E5F8

Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on here?
