Tonight I finally upgraded tcl/tk from 8.3.2nb1 to 8.3.4 (using pkgsrc)
and now I'm getting core dumps (on i386) every time I close a
tkined-1.5.0 report window.  Has anyone else had stability problems with
tk-8.3.4 lately?  (It doesn't seem like a very good sign for a release that
the maintainers claim "focused on stability and build fixes" :-)

When I go to the "bug database" as linked from the community page I get:

http://www.scriptics.com/ticket/

   "You step in the stream,
   but the water has moved on.
   This page is not here."

Neither of the the words "bug" or "problem" appear on their "site map"
page.  TclPro has a "support" page, but that's not what we've got in
pkgsrc so far as I can tell.

There are bug databases on some of the related sourceforge projects, but
that's where I'm starting to get really lost....


Anyway, FYI, here's the traceback.  It seems quite repeatable:
