timer-3.2 test failure when building with tcl on osx

[fgaz]

When jimtcl is built with tcl on osx, this test fails:

timer-3.2 ERR TimerHandlerEventProc procedure: multiple timers
/private/tmp/nix-build-jimtcl-0.82.drv-0/source/tests/timer.test:61:Error test failure
Expected: {80 {80 240} {80 240 400}}
Got     : {80 {80 240 400} {80 240 400}}

This does not happen on linux or when bootstrapping with jim.

Thanks for the report. This is not a bug in JimTcl. It is simply that these timer tests are a bit fragile if running on a VM or an overloaded system. I suggest just disabling timer.test.

BTW, I have some comments on the nixos configuration of JimTcl. Where is the best place to provide that feedback?

See #283

Thanks, we'll try applying that patch!
