Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-07-14 10:08:12 UTC Fixed In Version tk-8.5.13-5.el7
Doc Text Cause:
Previously the threading support in TCL wasn't implemented optimal way. If fork was used together with the threading enabled TCL interpreter, the process could hung. That's why the TCL interpreter and TK were previously shipped with the threading disabled.

Consequence:
This could break 3rd party applications depending on threaded TCL/TK.

Fix:
Upstream fix was backported and threading enabled in TCL. TK was recompiled with threading enabled.

Result:
3rd party applications depending on the threaded TK should now work.

Fix:
Upstream fix was backported and threading enabled in TCL. TK was recompiled with threading enabled.

Result:
3rd party applications depending on the threaded TK should now work.
Previously, the threading support in the Tool Command Language (TCL) was not implemented optimally. If the fork() call was used together with thread extension enabled in the TCL interpreter, the process could become unresponsive. Because of that, the TCL interpreter and the TK application were previously shipped with the thread extension disabled. As a consequence, third-party applications depending on threaded TCL or TK did not work correctly. A patch has been implemented to fix this bug, and TCL and TK now have the thread extension enabled by default.
