Yeah, I do that all the time - works just fine.

Thanks, but since it works the issue is closed for me.

Hi Harald,
thanks for your input, but

Anyway, since it works now I'm happy.

The answer about this strange "package require teapot" is here :
http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70842

It was a bug in the ActiveState 8.4.14 Tcl distribution :

"Use 'info library' to determine the location of Tcl's core script
library.
Open the file 'init.tcl' in that directory in the editor of your
choice.
Look for the command 'catch {package require __teapot__}' (CP).
This is near the bottom of the file.
Insert the command 'unset errorInfo' immediately after the 'catch'.
While the CP command is necessary to refresh some Tcl internals after
our manipulation just before the 'errorInfo' variable is still filled
with the error message from the caught command.
Unsetting it brings Tcl back into the regular pristine state before
starting the chosen script.
For future distributions we have managed to code this teapot setup
sequence to not require this type of refresh."

Thanks for the follow-up.
Maybe we should just upgrade to the current version.
