[New-bugs-announce] [issue11029] Crash, 2.7.1, Tkinter and threads and line drawing

[Scott M]

New submission from Scott M <scott.mayo at comcast.net>:

Running on dual core Windows XP. 

The function should draw a parabolicish shape for each click on launch. But if you click Launch over and over, very fast, you get bizarre crashes instead: Python.exe has encoutered a problem, yadda. tcl85.dll. It rarely takes many clicks.

Apologies for the coding style; this has been hacked down from a larger app.

In the console window:
