Hello,

Firstly, thanks to all those you have been working on
tclblend/jacl.

I have recently begun using tclblend to create an
automation manager to run existing expect scripts. 
Using tclblend 1.3.1, tcl 8.4.4, java 1.2.2 and expect
5.39 on a solaris and following the article "Embedding
a Tcl Interpreter in Java" by Jiang Wu, I was able to
create a thread, run a tcl interpreter in that thread,
load the expect lib, and run some basic test scripts
using interp.eval("source " + files[i]);  Everything
looked ok until the scripts end where they call "exit
$error_count".  When this is called, not only does the
script, the interpreter and the thread end, the whole
jvm exits!  The shell reports the exit status of the
tcl script - e.g if the script called "exit 2", the
unix shell reported an exit status of "2".  A work
around is to call "return $error_code" but since these
are existing scripts, I don't think I am able to
change them.

I was wondering if this is expected behaviour as it
seems a bit odd, or if there is a work around or patch
for this?  If evalFile was implemented would it behave
in the same way?    

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
David
