Understood. We are doing wide testing now in order to
try and get this in ActiveTcl.

It didn't actually matter whether it was gcc or HP cc, both
failed at the same spot. Unfortunately this machine is
behind a firewall, so I couldn't give access regardless. I
am still working on some other issues (just fixed the Windows
doc building), so I haven't looked into this abnormality at
this point. If you have an idea, I'll test it.

Actually, I have one more patch coming down the pipe - it
only has more Makefile changes, but I will make it the same
bulk-style patch as before. Actually, it changes makeDoc.xotcl
as well to remove Windows-isms and be more error-sturdy.
Should be done with that shortly.
