Summary: embedded interp crashes on win 2000

Initial Comment:
A very simple test program has been attached that 
crashes on windows 2000, after being compiled with VC6 
(sp5). This has been tested on two win 2000 machines 
with consistent behaviour.

 This code successfully Evals some commands, 
(i.e. "puts $auto_path") but crashes on many other 
commands. A couple of these other commands have been 
included with in the comments of the source code.

This has also been tested on windows NT compiled under 
VC5 (sp3) and works fine (i.e. No Crash!).

With further investigation, it seems this also happens with 
the latest version of tcl (8.4a3) on windows 2000. 

"Normal" tcl commands seems to function, (i.e. puts, for, 
if...) the 'info' command seems to consistently crash the 
interpreter, as well attempting to access functions in 
loaded packages also seems to crash the interpreter. 

Ex. package require simple            //functions fine
    puts [simple::upper SoMeStRiNg]   //unhandled exception
