We have seen similar problems on glibc based Linux systems, it turned
out to be a bug in error.c. Try the patch below, it's against version
3.0beta1 so you might have to apply it manually.

We are using Modules-3.0BETA1 plus some local patches on Linux,
Solaris, SunOS-4, HPUX-9 and 10. Tcl version is 8.0. I have a few more
patches that fix some smaller bugs, let me know if you would like
them.
