Hello!
I'm afraid I am responsible for this, I updated the tcl port without weighting all the consequences. So we decided to stick to 8.6 and fix problems as they present. I've sen that in most cases a -DUSE_INTERP_RESULT solves the majority of problems. Ports still need to be revbumped though.

Post the bug and I'll gladly take a look!
