Upgrading to tcl-8.4.13_1,1 fails

[Janos Dohanics]

I'm trying to portupgrade tcl on a FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE system but the
build fails. During the build a bunch of tests fail, finally the build
hangs altogether.

These are the tests which failed:

The last test, where the build hangs is this:

==== Contents of test case:

    set s [socket -server accept 0]
    proc accept {s a p} {
        global x
        set x [fconfigure $s -sockname]
        close $s
    }
    set listen [lindex [fconfigure $s -sockname] 2]
    set s1 [socket [info hostname] $listen]
    set timer [after 10000 "set x timed_out"]
    vwait x
    after cancel $timer
    close $s
    close $s1
    set l ""
    lappend l [expr {[lindex $x 2] == $listen}] [llength $x]

---- Test generated error; Return code was: 1
---- Return code should have been one of: 0 2
---- errorInfo: couldn't open socket: connection refused
    while executing

    invoked from within

I'd appreciate your suggestions...
