Description:	Appears that if tclsh starts in an inaccessible working directory, some [file] operations like [file delete] return EFAULT. The way to reproduce the problem has been reporte to Debian at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=913189 $ rm -rf d $ mkdir d $ cd d $ rm -rf ../d $ env - pwd pwd: couldn't find directory entry in '..' with matching i-node $ tclsh8.6 % file delete spong error deleting "spong": bad address in system call argument % strace shows: getcwd(0x7ffcf224aeb0, 4097) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lstat(NULL, 0x7ffcf224c100) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) I would expect another error (file not found) in this case. Or is there a reason for this behavior?
