Ned Deily added the comment:

For some reason, the newly-added Tk instantiation check causes the OS X Cocoa 
Tk to segfault when tests are run under regrtest -jn option, which causes each 
test to be run under a separate subprocess called from a separate thread.  
Somewhat surprisingly, the segfault doesn't seem to happen under the same 
conditions with 2.7, only with 3.4 and default, so there is something more at 
play here.  But with the imminent tagging of 3.4.1rc1, I think it is better to 
disable the check for 3.4 (and default) on OS X pending further investigation.  
The check is redundant: if Tk doesn't work for some reason, the individual test 
should fail anyway, just a bit later.
