I just got burned with this when upgrading to Tk 8.4.2 on Debian. 
Apparantly, many more of the fields now return "??" rather than an int
string (during the _substitute() call in Tkinter).  Downgrading back to
Tk 8.4.1 fixed the problem for me.

If this change in Tk is not considered a bug, and will remain, than
Tkinter must be fixed to operate with the most recent Tk (as usual).

So, Ian, in the meantime, can you install Tk 8.4.1 instead (assuming you
are using 8.4.2)?
