| Description: |
Under some circumstances [package require] was segv'ing when a required package was not in fact present. Although those circumstances were not investigated, it was determined that the proximate cause of the crash is that Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath may return NULL, but that its return value is not always tested, and may cause segvs. As a simple matter of caution, tests for NULL return were added everywhere the function is called. | |||
