Can you provide a backtrace of the call stack for us?

Also, does this happen with all games, all the time? And when does 
it occur? Is it apparently random, does it happen in conjunction 
with a specific action, or does it happen at the beginning of the 
game?

This seems odd. I don't recall that happening on my machine. Can 
you send me your Makefiles from the top-level dir and the tcltk 
dir under it?

Thanks for the bug report,
