Thanks for the analysis! I added a link to your explanation to
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/LeopardProblems
Do we really not have a macports base ticket for this issue yet? I
couldn't find one but maybe I'm searching wrong. We need one so that
we can mark all the other port bugs that are cropping up as
duplicates of it.
Oh, yeah, this issue. It's coming from a patch in tcl-64 [1] which
patches Tcl to use putenv() for handling the environment. I filed a
radar [2] with Apple and it was closed as a dup so they definitely
know about it, and maybe 10.5.3 (maybe not since it's pretty close?)
or 10.5.4 and we shouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
