Summary: why execute the same script in Solaris and AIX is different?

Initial Comment:
Below is the sample tcl script that I tested.

set TclVar1 0x80000001;
set TclVar2 -2147483647;
set TclFlag 1;

if [ $TclVar1 == $TclVar2 ] {
    set TclFlag 1;
} else {
    set TclFlag 0;
}

The problem is:

If I use Tcl8.3.2 and run in Solaris8 and AIX4.3,
it will return TclFlag with value 1 which means that variable TclVar1 is equal to TclVar2.

But

If I use Tcl8.4.12 and run in the same Solaris8 and AIX4.3, it will return different results, that is variable TclVar1's value is 1 in AIX, but TclVar2's value is 0 in Solaris.

Why? Is it a bug in updating from Tcl8.3.2 to Tcl8.4.12 or anyone can explain this?  Thanks!
