<p><strong>Known Problems</strong></p>

<hr>
<p><strong>Things that are broke, but aren't getting fixed anytime
soon:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Non-working alarm(10) in Linux (calls to gethostbyaddr/name()
have blocked for long periods when bind/named doesn't resolve
quickly, and the alarm does not interrupt it).</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: This should now work if you use the dns module.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
<p>High-bit characters are being filtered from channel names.
This is a fault of the Tcl interpreter, and not Eggdrop. The Tcl
interpreter filters the characters when it reads a file for
interpreting. Update your Tcl to version 8.1 or higher.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Version 8.1 of Tcl doesn't support unicode characters, for
example, è. If those characters are handled in a script as
text, you run into errors. Eggdrop can't handle these errors at
the moment.</p>
</li>
</ul>
