Subject: Help T/Shoot "Tnm lost connection" w/new install

This is the first time I've played with Scotty/tkined in a
couple of years. I'm trying to bring up the latest released
versions (Scotty 2.1.9, Tcl/Tk 8.0; Tkined 1.4.9) on Linux
(RedHat 5.2/kernel 2.0.36).

manager.tcl is loading and starting, but bombing out right away
with "Tnm lost connection to Tkined". A segment of strace output
shows the parent doing this:

2646 open("/usr/lib/tkined1.4.9/apps/manager.tcl", O_RDONLY) = 4
2647 fstat(4, {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
2648 mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x4000b000
2649 read(4, "#!/bin/sh\n# the next line resta"..., 4096) = 4096
2650 close(4) = 0
2651 munmap(0x4000b000, 4096) = 0
2652 pipe([4, 5]) = 0
2653 fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2654 fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2655 pipe([6, 7]) = 0
2656 fcntl(6, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2657 fcntl(7, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2658 lseek(2, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
2659 pipe([8, 9]) = 0
2660 fcntl(8, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2661 fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
2662 fork() = 6848

while the child does this:

4144 [pid 6848] write(1, "{ined} {create} {MENU} {Tools} {"..., 352) = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
4145 [pid 6848] --- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) ---
4146 [pid 6848] write(2, "Tnm lost connection to Tkined\n", 30Tnm lost connection to Tkined
4147 ) = 30

Any clues before I get in deeper?

Thanks.
