	I have since determined it's an STL-related problem.  Even in
implementation files, calls to the push_back member of "list" cause
this problem.  The cases I have seen are when pushing types I have
written (i.e. not standard types).  I'm sorry I can't give any more
detail than that at this stage.  I'll see if I can come up with
something.

	I will report tomorrow on the shared libraries stuff with
Tcl on Solaris x86.

P.S.  My apologies to Jim Wilson .... I meant the last message to go
to the list, not to him personally.  I will check my To: and Cc:
lines more carefully next time.
