Comment (by snowflake):

 On El Capitan:

 ```/opt/local/libexec/mpstats show```  fails with the error as above

 ```port-tclsh /opt/local/libexec/mpstats show```  works and displays the
 stats.

 ```/opt/local/bin/port-tclsh``` is identical on both machines and reads:
 {{{
 #!/bin/sh
 exec "/opt/local/libexec/macports/bin/tclsh8.6" "$@"
 }}}

 ```/bin/sh --version``` is the same on both machines and it reads:
 {{{
 GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin24)
 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
 }}}

 Apple have not touched this in years although they have obviously used
 different compilers
 to build it. I think we are looking at a system shell bug.
