     * [Bug 1462248]: The cause of the crash reported in this bug is this:
     *
     * - ReadChars, called with a single buffer, with a incomplete
     *	 multi-byte character at the end (only the first byte of it).
     * - Encoding translation fails, asks for more data
     * - Data is read, and eof is reached, TCL_ENCODING_END (TEE) is set.
     * - ReadChar is called again, converts the first buffer, but due to TEE
     *	 it does not check for incomplete multi-byte data, and the character
     *	 just after the end of the first buffer is a valid completion of the
     *	 multi-byte header in the actual buffer. The conversion reads more
     *	 characters from the buffer then present. This causes nextRemoved to
     *	 overshoot nextAdded and the next reads compute a negative srcLen,
     *	 cause further translations to fail, causing copying of data into the
     *	 next buffer using bad arguments, causing the mecpy for to eventually
     *	 fail.
     *
     * In the end it is a memory access bug spiraling out of control if the
     * conditions are _just so_. And ultimate cause is that TEE is given to a
     * conversion where it should not. TEE signals that this is the last
     * buffer. Except in our case it is not.
     *
     * My solution is to suppress TEE if the first buffer is not the last. We
     * will eventually need it given that EOF has been reached, but not right
     * now. This is what the new flag "endEncSuppressFlag" is for.
     *
     * The bug in 'Tcl_Utf2UtfProc' where it read from memory behind the
     * actual buffer has been fixed as well, and fixes the problem with the
     * crash too, but this would still allow the generic layer to
     * accidentially break a multi-byte sequence if the conditions are just
     * right, because again the ExternalToUtf would be successful where it
     * should not.

 * Tcl_BadChannelOption --
 *
 *	This procedure generates a "bad option" error message in an (optional)
 *	interpreter. It is used by channel drivers when a invalid Set/Get
 *	option is requested. Its purpose is to concatenate the generic options
 *	list to the specific ones and factorize the generic options error
 *	message string.
 *
 * Results:
 *	TCL_ERROR.
 *
 * Side effects:

 *	An error message is generated in interp's result object to indicate
 *	that a command was invoked with the a bad option. The message has the
 *	form:
 *		bad option "blah": should be one of
 *		<...generic options...>+<...specific options...>
 *	"blah" is the optionName argument and "<specific options>" is a space
 *	separated list of specific option words. The function takes good care
 *	of inserting minus signs before each option, commas after, and an "or"
 *	before the last option.

	     * Andreas Kupries, April 11, 2003
	     *
	     * Some operating systems (Solaris 2.6 and higher (but not Solaris
	     * 2.5, go figure)) generate READABLE and EXCEPTION events when
	     * select()'ing [*] on a plain file, even if EOF was not yet
	     * reached. This is a problem in the following situation:
	     *
	     * - An extension asks to get both READABLE and EXCEPTION events.
	     * - It reads data into a buffer smaller than the buffer used by
	     *	 Tcl itself.
	     * - It does not process all events in the event queue, but only
	     *	 one, at least in some situations.
	     *
	     * In that case we can get into a situation where
	     *
	     * - Tcl drops READABLE here, because it has data in its own
	     *	 buffers waiting to be read by the extension.
	     * - A READABLE event is syntesized via timer.
	     * - The OS still reports the EXCEPTION condition on the file.
	     * - And the extension gets the EXCPTION event first, and handles
	     *	 this as EOF.
	     *
	     * End result ==> Premature end of reading from a file.
	     *
	     * The concrete example is 'Expect', and its [expect] command
	     * (and at the C-level, deep in the bowels of Expect,
	     * 'exp_get_next_event'. See marker 'SunOS' for commentary in
	     * that function too).
	     *
	     * [*] As the Tcl notifier does. See also for marker 'SunOS' in
	     * file 'exp_event.c' of Expect.
	     *
	     * Our solution here is to drop the interest in the EXCEPTION
	     * events too. This compiles on all platforms, and also passes the
	     * testsuite on all of them.
