Summary: bug in scan command

Initial Comment:
Hemang,

You have indeed found a bug in the scan command.  This occured
when 'scan' was rewritten for 8.1 to support unicode.  The problem
is rather simple - it won't read past the "0x...", so you are
always scanning the 0 before the x.  You can see this with:
        scan 0x001 %xx%x
=>      0 1

The workaround is to do:
        set a [expr $a]

and then the scan.  This does need to be reported to SourceForge
as well.  Is this something that you will also need corrected in
the IOS port?

Thanks,
