I just compared the code to the unix variant and found that this panic 
was removed on unix for curious reasons.  Best to just read the comments 
and see the patch at:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1789819&group_id=12997&atid=112997

I assume the same patch would apply accurately for tkMacOSXWm.c as the 
logic in those areas is very similar.
