Sounds like YA case of http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-01/msg00938.html. tclsh is one of the few programs in /bin that does not link against cygwin1.dll, but uses Windows directly. So it probably needs to be taught how to interact with cygwin's updated environment scheme. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
