[DejaGnu] forked process couldn't set up input/output: bad file number

[Nitin Gupta]

Hi,

I am running gcc-3.0.2 testsuite on latest cygwin (on my windows 2000 
box). Most of my tests are running fine, but for few test directories, I 
am not able to run any test and I am getting following error message. I 
tried to look for it on web and could only understand that it has some 
thing to do with tcl or dejagnu, any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

ERROR: tcl error sourcing
