 In Tcl, interp->result is (really) deprecated from Tcl8.6 onwards. Still
 it is used in several modules:

 {{{
 ./lib/form/form.c
 ./vector/v.digit/form.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/anim_support.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/cutplane_obj.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/do_zoom.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/draw.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/exag.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/lights.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/map_obj.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/misc.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/mkdspf_main.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/nvizAppInit.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/nviz_init.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/position.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/togl_flythrough.c
 ./visualization/nviz/src/volume.c
 }}}

 Funda Wang has proposed a patch set:
 http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-
 bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/grass/current/SOURCES/grass-6.4.0-tcl8.6.patch?view=log

 which I attached to the ticket.

 Is it correct and can be submitted to 6.4.x to gain compatibility with
 Tcl > 8.5? Related problems on Mac where reported.
