I merged trunk into branch so we could try to get benefit from some of
the improvements that have been made to trunk since the branch
started. There are some packfile-related failures because we bumped
PBC_COMPAT and we're fixing that now. Could you do me a favor and run
the tests again with trunk and branch at r39444, which is when I
merged? that should show a pretty even footing.

Does TCL use FileHandle and subclasses of it, or does it use other
custom types for IO?
