Problem is due to use of unicode in Tcl (>8.0). "£"
is represented as "\302\243" in utf-8 unicode used by Tcl. This is
converted correctly to EXDR format as a 2 byte string. 

However, puts seems to loose a byte when outputting the EXDR string,
even when it should treat the string as binary. The read_exdr then
crashes because the string has lost a byte.

Fixed by forcing Tcl not to convert string with puts.
