We have a problem where if I load tcl85.dll within the 8.5.9 tclkit
shell, it crashes and returns 'alloc: invalid block: 00547BF4: 1 0'. I
need to load this because it is a dependency of a 3rd party test-
equipment dll.

The tcl85.dll library we are using for 8.5.9 came from the ActiveState
ActiveTcl 8.5.9.2 distro.

Our conclusion is that the tclkit was made using a different tcl85.dll
file then we have access to.

Where can we get the tcl85.dll file that tclkit-8.5.9-win32.upx.exe
was compiled with?

Thx,
Jason

Tclkit is a statically linked tclsh. So there is no tcl85.dll for it -
it is linked into the executable along with a virtual filesystem
containing the necessary script files.
Looks like you need to use a plain tclsh/wish instead.
