I know, thats why it should be enabled if possible or if forced by a command line parameter. As Damon states, a non-threaded build is not concerned neiter. There, no Notifier Thread is used and thus it works. Unfortunately, threaded build is now the default and should be seen as the standard case (IMHO). >> 2) in a patched or newer version of TCL, the current way may be >> used.

I suppose, Jan Nijtmans is on holiday. I normally ask Jan directly. I don't want to use a tip, as this takes time. Thats why I see it as a bug... But if you think, there should be more pressure, could not someone of you write to the core list and underline the importance of the issue ? But the second aim I have is to improve the patched version of TCL. I am really a novice in thread programming and this is my very first c contribution to the tcl core. I would ask some skilled persons to verify. I suppose, also Alexandre Ferrieux is on holiday, as he mostly helps with those issues. Thanks to Jeff to give reasons why this is important. So I don't feel so stupid reasoning it by that...
