I see. I am using tclblend for only loading Java from Tcl, and this is 
why I never noticed any problems
with the stubs-enabled version. I never cross my mind that tclblend can 
be used to load Tcl from
Java. How is this accomplished in Java? You somehow load the tclblend 
dll and a Tcl interp
gets also created?
