I have run a test on 8.4.19 and 8.4.20rc0

C:\test\tk8.4.20\win>nmake -f makefile.vc test OPTS=threads
TESTFLAGS="-verbose \"body start error\"" TCLDIR=c:\test\tcl8.4.20

Best to see which tests were started and gave errors is to diff
attached files:
- testlog_tcl8.4.20.txt and testlog_tcl8.4.19.txt
- testlog_tk8.4.20.txt and testlog_tk8.4.19.txt

http://wiki.tcl.tk/37529
was updated for reference - 8.4.19 made the table explose....

The tcl freeze is a false alarm.
The test winpipe-8.19 runs several minuits, so it gives the impression
to freeze.

The Tk test which shows an empty toplevel and then freezes is: winDialog-5.1

The test which opens a file dialog box and stops, so I pressed
"Abbrechen" (Cancel) is also: winDialog-5.1

Hope this helps,
