hi
got that problem with stat fixed around midnight last night!
turned out that the default compile for Tcl was setting some
types to different types e.g. size_t to int. Some of these
types were used in the stat structure which of course was
already compiled with the original sizes.
I am running the Tcl test procedures at the moment so
will hopefully have a build early next week.
