[ExM Users] debugging suggestions for non-static main-wrap segfault

Here is the tcl script with puts messages:

package provide leaf_main 0.0

# dnl Receive USER_LEAF from environment for m4 processing
set USER_LEAF dock_wrap
puts hello1

namespace eval leaf_main {
puts hello2

    proc leaf_main_wrap { rc A } {
    deeprule $A 1 0 "leaf_main::leaf_main_wrap_impl $rc $A" type
$::turbine::WORK
    }

    proc leaf_main_wrap_impl { rc A } {

        global USER_LEAF

        set length [ adlb::container_size $A ]
        set tds [ adlb::enumerate $A dict all 0 ]
        set argv [ list ]

        puts hello3

        # Fill argv with blanks
        dict for { i v } $tds {
            lappend argv 0
        }
        # Set values at ordered list positions
        dict for { i v } $tds {
            lset argv $i $v
        }
        set rc_value [ ${USER_LEAF}_extension {*}$argv ]
        turbine::store_integer $rc $rc_value
        puts hello4
    }
    puts hello5
}




It prints:

hello1
hello2
hello5

I see that it is not going in the proc_leaf_main_wrap_impl but I am not
familiar enough with TCL to understand why.
