Subject: More tclsh segfaults on hppa.

A very similar bug, possibly the same one, appears to be biting the postinst
of gpsmanship, causing it to fail to install. From the build log for xastir
(http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=xastir&ver=1.6.0-2&arch=hppa&stamp=1129791638&file=log&as=raw)
we see:

Setting up gpsmanshp (1.2-2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gpsmanshp.postinst: line 5: 3480 Done
ec$
      3481 Segmentation fault | tclsh$TCLVERSION 2>&1 >/dev/null
dpkg: error processing gpsmanshp (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139

It's also possible that this segfaulting is due to a kernel misconfiguration
on the hppa buildd, as the recently-solved Qt FTBFS was. Ask on the hppa
list.
