> [...] So it is failing at this point inside the Tcl_NewStringObj(): https://github.com/macports/macports-base/blob/v2.7.1/src/pextlib1.0/mktemp.c#L99 gdb already tells us that the pointer 0xa51b60 doesn't look good. But mktemp() is never supposed to return anything else than either the pointer given or NULL [1]. Could you try to break in gdb here in line 99 (after the call to mktemp) and compare the variables sp and template? They must point to the same memory address. You could even check whether there is a proper C string terminated by '\0' in memory... but actually gdb already told us it is not, because it cannot access memory at this address. :-/ Rainer [1] https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?mktemp(3)
