Bugs I don't intend to fix:
********************************************************************

Can not correctly pass parameters with embedded spaces from the command window in Windows systems.  This seems to be a bug in Windows version of tcl.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
FileRunner cannot handle files or directories that start with a
~-character. This looks like a bug in Tcl actually. Tcl parses a file
called "~foo" as the home directory of user "foo", which is not
correct if you really mean the file "~foo"...

update 130221 This seems to work now.  You can create ~foo file or directory and
view it, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
If your timezone is set to GMT+xx then you might get incorrect dates
when you view FTP listings. This is because the Tcl/Tk clock scan
function cannot deal with GMT+xx elements in the date string. Don't
know why. You should use another timezone notation instead, like PST
or MET etc.
update 130221 Not sure.  It handles gmt (upper and lower case) but not
the +/- notation...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't press Alt+Esc to exit a text window
update 130221 We trap this now and make it do exactly nothing.

********************************************************************
The following list shows crash dumps caused by bugs in Tcl/Tk. 
There's not much I can do about them, other than acknowledge their
existence and hope the next version of Tcl/Tk won't have them.
