Re: [MACTCL] OS X tcl/tk crashes

I haven't tried the latest Tk build on 10.0.4, I may indeed have broken
something.  You really ought to get your hands on 10.1.  It is SO much nicer
than 10.0.x, I can't think of any reasons not to upgrade...

If Wish itself is crashing you can enable the "CrashReporter" - I don't
remember how this works on 10.0.x.  On 10.1 you open the Preferences of the
Console app, and choose the Crashes tab and click on logging crashes.  When
the app crashes, then, it will dump a stack backtrace in ~/Library/Logs.

You can also just run Wish under gdb (if you have installed the developer
tools) and get a backtrace when it crashes.
