output from "port list" piped to anything causes error

[ray@…]

Toby Peterson asked me to file this here. I am running on a pre-release version of the next Mac OS X.

If I run "port list | head", then I get a very strange result:

% port list | head adium aqua/adium 0.52 The best multi-IM client for Mac OS X Affiche aqua/Affiche 0.6.0 Sticky notes for your desktop aquaterm aqua/aquaterm 0.3.2 AquaTerm is a viewer that displays vector graphics on Mac OS X audioslicer aqua/audioslicer 1.0.1 mp3 file splitter BiggerSQL aqua/BiggerSQL 1.2.3 SQL front-end to the postgresql DBMS BigSQL aqua/BigSQL 1.0 postgresql psql-like client in cocoa binclocken aqua/binclocken 1.5.1 useless floating binary LED clock for your desktop blender aqua/blender 20040216 3D modeler / renderer cotvnc aqua/cotvnc 1.3.6 Chicken of the VNC is a VNC client for Mac OS X cyberduck aqua/cyberduck 2.2 Cyberduck is an open source SFTP and FTP browser error writing "stdout": broken pipe

This also occurs on Panther, so it's not a Tiger-specific issue.

Looks like

while {1} { puts "" }

produces the same problem.

Fixed this by protecting calls to puts.
