Neither of them: it's a tcl problem. The message you get is in the file  
generic/tclObj.c in the tcl source directory.

I know the problem happens sometimes on one of my Tkinter applications,  
but I never succeeded in reproducing it systematically. I've browsed the  
tcl bugs, but didn't find anything. Maybe you'll be luckier than I... If  
you are, I'm interested in any hint you can find.
