I missed 8.5.1, but I can say that pltcl passes its regression test
with both 8.5.0 and 8.5.2 on HPUX. However, that's with a
non-thread-enabled tcl, which might be relevant.

I've had problems in the past with pltcl on multilib Fedora ... are
you by any chance using x86_64, and if so do you have tcldevel.i386
installed as well? I've found that we tend to pick the "wrong" tcl
if given a choice. Although I think the symptom there tends to be
build failure not just a couple of weird test discrepancies.
