Can you describe your use case for Tcl_MakeSafe (as opposed 
to Tcl_CreateSlaveInterp)?  At the time that the 8.5 [clock]
command was first proposed, there were no known extensions
that used Tcl_MakeSafe, and in fact, safe interpreters are
rather dodgy in other respects unless they have unsafe
masters. Consensus seems to be that Tcl_MakeSafe will at
some point be deprecated, unless we hear a strong case in
its favor.

If you do have a strong use case, please change the status
of this bug back to "Open" and post a comment indicating
what it is you're trying to accomplish.

Note the comments in the
2004-08-18 ChangeLog entry:

"In addition to the functionality changes called out in the two TIPs,
it is worth noting that the [clock] command in a safe slave
interpreter is now an alias to the [clock] command in the master, and
that [clock] is otherwise not expected to function entirely correctly
in safe interps. C code that simply does Tcl_MakeSafe needs to be
aware that [clock] may need special handling. (It appears unlikely
that such code actually exists.)"
