Hi,

from what it looks like, SGE doesn't allow to start threads, but you have a 
thread-enabled Tcl. Not allowing threads to start  is a bad habit of quite 
some queueing systems,  so you will need to find a non-threaded Tcl or compile 
it yourself (by default Tcl is not thread-enabled). Note that this also means 
that you cannot use pipes, for example to read compressed data.

Regards,
Axel
