The Tcl8.4.x uses the OS-call realpath() to figure-out the real physical path of the file on the filesystem, stripped of all "./", "../", constructs, symlinks and alike.
BANG: this function uses chdir/fchdir internally which changes the process current working directory for each invocation. It is called for just about *every* path you pass to the Tcl library! Wow! The funny thing: the man page does not care to mention this *important* side-effect!
This is truly sick, Zoran. Truly sick. An extremely obnoxious side-effect, even if it were documented. Does Apple have a process for filing bug reports that would give us some hope one of their Unix hackers will see it?
