Apparently Tcl_CreateSlave() is failing. Although it doesn't say so on
its man page, it seems likely to me that the parent interpreter's result
would be set to a possibly-useful error message. You might try adding
code to pltcl.c to add the "hold" interpreter's result to this error
message.
We've heard other reports of strange failures involving Tcl_CreateSlave,
but AFAIR the other ones prevented pltcl.so from even getting linked.
If you learn anything I'd like to hear about it...
regards, tom lane
