Serhiy: we are having a problem with tkinter sometimes reporting boolean vars 
as '0' and '1' versus 0 and 1. As I remember, you pushed a patch about this in 
the last year, probably before 3.4 came out, but after last August. Am I 
correct?  If so, do you remember the issue?

Saimadhav: changing expected values *back* to '0'/'1', as in Phil's original 
patch, will make the test fail on all the systems (including all stable 
buildbots) that *do* return  0/1. After Serhiy's fix, I had to switch to 0/1 
for 3.4/5 to make the tests pass again, after the change made them fail. Notice 
that the 2.7 version, pushed on 6/30 also, still has '0', '1'.

The interesting question is why the Debian 3.4 system is different?  Why is it 
acting like 2.7?  Serhiy, do you have any idea? 

I am also puzzled why the corresponding text_tcl or _tk did not fail, as I 
presume there is a text for the change.
