Summary: crash with CFStringGetCString

Initial Comment:
Hi, some aMSN users started reporting that aMSN crashes for them on their mac, and we don't know what's causing it and can't reproduce.. It seems to be coming from Tk_CreateMainWindow, so i don't think it has anything to do with amsn's source code or extensions. Here are a few stack traces as reported by the users..
http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7392
http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7429
If you look at the traces, it seems to be happening on 10.5.8 and 10.5.4 with both tcl/tk 8.5.3 (amsn 0.97.2 and 0.98) and 8.5.7 (amsn 0.98.1).

For completeness sake, here's a paste of one of the crash reports :
