There was an announcement of a new release on Tuesday:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2003-01/msg00024.html

and Charles Wilson mentioned it in the thread that *you* started:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01690.html

For the record, I don't recall that you ever described precisely what
your issue was with tclsh.  When I ran it, I noticed an obvious error
which may have been what you were experiencing.  Coincidentially enough,
I'd been plannnig on releasing a new version of tcl/tk since 8.4.1 was
introduced, so a new release showed up *the day after* you started
complaining.  tclsh84 does not have the obvious error.

It's strange that you are still complaining about this rather than
either reporting bugs with the new version (in the correct place, of
course) or (hopefully) noticing that everything works now.
