After a long period of random coredumps I narrowed the
problem to the following script :

scale .scale -cursor hand2
pack .scale

It seems working, until the window is closed/destroyed.
We have release 8.2, on our HPUX and SUN systems,
both ports have this bug, downloaded the windows 8.2.3
Also a crash.
Removing the -cursor attribute, and there seems no
problem anymore !
Downloaded windows 8.3.2, no crash, but was this bug
realy solved, I could not find this bug in the bug
lists.

    This was fixed between 8.2.3 and 8.3b1.
    This was not a bug in Tcl (but Tk.)
    Resolution is to not use 8.2, but rather 8.3; virtually
    everything (including binary code) should be upward
    compatible, but the feature count is higher and the bug
    count is lower... :^)
