Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl/Tk 8.6.10 Release Candidates

[Marc C. <cul...@gm...>]

Running the test suite on a VM with the Catalina "Gold Master" beta
produced one segfault, about 20 hangs and around 100 test failures.  This
is not close to the nightmare that we saw with Mojave, but it is
non-trivial.

With a few small changes I was eventually able to eliminate the segfault,
most of the hangs (leaving two from which one can escape by moving the
mouse) and about 13 failures.

While the changes were small, they were pretty hard to find and are very
hard to explain.  They are in the catalina_tests branch.  I would be
grateful if some of the experts on this list could review the changes and
even more grateful to hear explanations of why they were needed.
