Problem with Tkinter scrollbar callback

[Ivan Van Laningham]

HI All--
We've decided that this represents a bug in the tcl/tk library, and
there's no workaround.  I switched to + and - buttons, which are not
as nice aesthetically but work correctly on both Windows & Linux.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Metta,
Ivan
