[issue11387] Tkinter, callback functions

I have a different problem here on Mac, but I can manage to reproduce
your issue if I apply the following patch:

Index: Lib/tkinter/__init__.py
===================================================================
--- Lib/tkinter/__init__.py     (revision 88757)
+++ Lib/tkinter/__init__.py     (working copy)

             self.tk.call('bindtags', self._w, tagList)
     def _bind(self, what, sequence, func, add, needcleanup=1):
         """Internal function."""
-        if isinstance(func, str):
-            self.tk.call(what + (sequence, func))
-        elif func:
+        #if isinstance(func, str):
+        #    self.tk.call(what + (sequence, func))
+        if func:
             funcid = self._register(func, self._substitute,
                         needcleanup)
             cmd = ('%sif {"[%s %s]" == "break"} break\n'

This should help someone else to produce a patch for this problem you
reported. It is "interesting" that this same patch fixes the problem I
have here (I get a SIGSEGV if I click the cancel button side the
askdirectory dialog).
