I don't recall seeing anything like this. What did you do when
building with respect to the RH9 disaster of Unicode-borked Tcl? Did
you try the fixed Tcl/Tk RPMs that I posted (see the release notes for
more)

Please consider logging a bug on SF, including the precise version of
tcl/tk installed on the system and gcc version, as well as the full
backtrace output from gdb.
