Scotty Agent problems under AIX

Hi,
I am running scotty 2.1.1 and tcl7.5/tk4.1 on a sun sparc10 Solaris.
and everything seems fine. When I use the example of the man
page (tnmTclCmdCount) in this script:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/scotty

set s [snmp session -port 1701 -agent {} ]
$s instance tnmTclCmdCount.0 tnmTclCmdCount
$s bind tnmTclCmdCount.0 get { set tnmTclCmdCount [info cmdcount] }
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I get a working agent, ok. Btw: this script does not return.

Now I installed scotty 2.1.1 on an RS/6000 43P (AIX 4.1.4.0)
from an installp-File (using SMIT), found on
ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/systems/aix
(scotty-2.1.1.0.bff). I also got tcl and tk there.

My problem: When I try exactly the same script under AIX

- it returns immediately (different from Solaris)
- SNMP-get on this server returns noResponse
- it creates a listening server udp-socket (1701)
- you can see incoming data in the Recv-Q on port 1701,
(using netstat -a) but it is not read

[An endless loop (to overcome the immediate return) at the
end of the sript does not solve the problem]

I tried two other machines (Model 550 and 220, both also
with AIX 4) and got the same results.

Has anyone tried this scotty-Version? Maybe it works on AIX 3.2.5?
