Re: Tcl Thread Safety / Windows build

He was partially right. Tcl 8.3 wasn't thread-safe; there were definite
bugs in there! :-) But 8.4 should be pretty good for Tcl and
thread-safety, and 8.5 will include a substantial effort to make Tk
thread-safe too.

On the other hand, it's possible from your description you're trying to
use a single Tcl interpreter (i.e. one Tcl_Interp instance) from
multiple threads. Don't do that; it violates *loads* of deep
assumptions. Send a message to the interpreter's thread instead; that's
supported.
