This is definitely not a postgresql problem. I'm storing tons of HTML
code, mostly via PHP scripts, and have had only minor issues with it,
eg. HTML entities like & being rendered as naked ampersands on
retrieval. That's a nuisance when you try to keep the W3C validator
happy, but there are ways around it.
You should probably present your problem to the Tcl community, and see
if they can come up with a reason for this oddity.
