>Description:
 Since the upgrade to p5-Tk (around Mar 23?) my p5-Tk programs cause perl
to dump core.  "widget", which is part of p5-Tk, also causes perl to core.

 I'm using perl5.8 from pkgsrc.  I'm not very familiar with the perl
debugger.  If I try to run "perl -d" on widget the program hangs,
consuming 100% of the CPU.  ktruss says it's looping between "setcontext"
and "SIGSEGV".

>How-To-Repeat:
spiral:~ %widget
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
spiral:~ %ls -l *.core
