[Xotcl] Loading XOTcl crashes

[Gustaf Neumann]

When everything works from the shell, and it works with 
Komodo V6 and it does not work with Komodo V7, then it 
certainly looks like a problem with Komodo V7. We do not 
have Komodo here, which is a commercial product (most likely 
with a commercial support). Is the a public visible forum 
with your discussions, maybe i can get a clue from it... 
 From the snippet below, there seems to be a problem with 
the error handling (where i see nothing special from the 
xotcl side).

All three environments (Komodo V7, V6, and Terminal / tclsh) are using the same version of Tcl (8.5) and the same version of XOTcl (1.6.6 - I know, down rev by one release).  All three versions point to the same library file: /System/Library/Tcl/8.5/xotcl1.6.6/libxotcl1.6.6.dylib.
