Bug / Problems
--------------
Mac : DCC does not work. (Tcl mac port bug!)
      improvement: DCC chat works as client (/accept)
                   DCC get  works too                
                   but in both case the EOF is not seen ! (need to abort)
      up arrows inserts a \x1e. (Tk mac bug fixed in upcoming 4.2b)
Windows : DCC problems too, quite much like Mac ones (Tcl win port bug!)
     Send mail to Sun's folks to put some pressure so those bugs get fixed!

tk pb : still some core dumps when one close a window... (linux/hpux/...)
       John Ousterhout found the Tk bug, should be fixed in next release
       or apply the patch at ftp://ftp.lyot.obspm.fr/tcl/tkbug.fix.patch
