snip patches etc.
I now have version of application that works via Tcl API on 7.2 by:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libtcl86.so.1.13 python3.9 -m ...
the job complains it's only got libtcl86.so.1.12 but uses it successfully
anyway.
On another box db v4 was built from ports (7.2 not snapshot) with the patches
applied.
python3.9 -m ... works fine with no warnings about libtcl86.so version.
Neither bsddb3 nor berkeleydb installed from PyPi, and py3-bsddb3 OpenBSD
package not installed either.
Thanks for all that stuff.
Will the db patches be applied by 7.3 release time?
