+Known bug list for Tcl 8.0 for Macintosh
+

+RCS: @(#) $Id$
+
+This was a new feature as of Tcl7.6b1 and as such I'll started with
+a clean slate. I currently know of no reproducable bugs. I often
+get vague reports - but nothing I've been able to confirm. Let
+me know what bugs you find!
+
+The Macintosh version of Tcl passes most all tests in the Tcl
+test suite. Slower Macs may fail some tests in event.test whose
+timing constraints are too tight. If other tests fail please report
+them.

+Known bugs in the current release.
+
+* With the socket code you can't use the "localhost" host name. This
+ is actually a known bug in Apple's MacTcp stack. However, you can
+ use [info hostname] whereever you would have used "localhost" to
+ achive the same effect.
+
+* Most socket bugs have been fixed. We do have a couple of test cases
+ that will hang the Mac, however, and we are still working on them.
+ If you find additional test cases that show crashes please let us
+ know!
