On 2003-02-19, a bug in the pkgIndex.tcl of mkextensions was reported in the Tcl chatroom:

package ifneeded mkGeneric 1.3 [list
         load [file join [set dir] mkGeneric13[info sharedlibextension]]
]

Notice that without a backslash after "list", the load command is immediately executed, and its result stored for ifneeded...

NEM 20Feb2003 - There was another bug which cropped up as a result of this chatroom session. The Mkgeneric_SafeInit function is defined in terms of itself, making it infinitely recursive:

 int Mkgeneric_SafeInit(Tcl_Interp *tI) {
     return Mkgeneric_SafeInit(tI);
 }

This presumably was supposed to be:

 int Mkgeneric_SafeInit(Tcl_Interp *tI) {
     return Mkgeneric_Init(tI);
 }

Both bugs have been filed on the mkextensions sourceforge page.
