Summary: Fatal Error in Wish with string range

Initial Comment:
I'm using Tcl 8.5 Beta 4 from ActiveState. And seems to
be a really strange problem. 

Here is the script to reproduce the bug:

(bin) 1 % set value Name
Name
(bin) 2 % set value [string range $value 0 1]
Na
(bin) 3 % if {$value == ""} {puts "CRASH"}

Then shows: 
Fatal Error in Wish
in TclParseNumber: bad acceptState, can't happen.

I've solved the problem using

if {[string compare $value ""]} {puts "CRASH"}

If you need some extra information don't hesitate to
contact me.
