Hello,

I've been playing with scotty for a few weeks now. I'm very happy
with it, but encountered a few problems. I've created patches for
some things, but I'm new to the list and don't know the policy for
submitting patches. Should I post them to the list? Mail them to a
specific person? I searched the mailing list archive but couldn't
find any mention of this.

My patches address the following:

o Tcl 8.1 (and earlier?) modify the first argument to Tcl_Eval. Gcc
by default marks literal strings read-only.

o HP-UX has alignment problems with certain ckalloc calls. Broken
into two separate calls.

o "netdb networks address" doesn't work on little-endian machines.

o "netdb sunrpcs" doesn't work.

o Added #define LOOSEHOST to permit underscores in hostnames. I
know, this violates RFC 952, but I see this a lot.

o Parsing a mib containing DEFVAL can coredump or create a corrupted
.idy file.

o Parsing a mib containing a symbol greater than SYMBOL_MAXLEN can
coredump.

o Some additional tests
