That is definitely something to look at. > * Linked tkwin and libplplottcltkd against the stub version of the Tcl and Tk > library by > default.

It is somehow happening in Tk_ParseArgv, but why that should be is completely unclear right now. It happens if you specify -help or a prefix like -h or -he.

Right now, I am making small changes only but it is getting better. I may need your help later on, especially with the segfault at exit time.
