    Yeah, this was actually a bug that was discovered right after the
1.0a5 release.  I fixed it pretty quickly, but I'm still not ready to
release a6.  I released a patch to fix the problem.  Download this file:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/installbase/common.tcl?download

    And drop the common.tcl into your lib/ directory, replacing the old
one.  That should fix your problem. 0-]
