I've observed that Tk-Cocoa, at least in the 8.5 version, can sometimes 
lock up when displaying a Tk error window in the manner that you 
describe. However, that doesn't mean that the issue itself is because of 
Tk-Cocoa. Try running your app in Terminal--error messages will be 
logged there as well. That might help you figure out what's going on.
