#75 Error: can't read S(0, 8)

[Anonymous]

I am john at jsjf.demon.co.uk

I downloaded the tarball version of tclhttpd 3.5.1 and
tried to run it in the "out of the box" mode. That's to
say, I did nothing except to unpack the tarball, cd to
its directory and type

bin/httpd.tcl

It gave a stack dump, which began:

can't read "S(0, 8)": no such element in array

The problem was in line 250 of lib/tclcrypt.tcl, which was:

set k $S($j, [expr {

Note the space after the comma. I edited the file to
remove the space, so that the line then read

set k $S($j,[expr {

and I was then able to run the server.

This all seems very odd, because the problem prevented
the server from running at all, yet presumably it has
worked for everyone else.
