[Tkinter-discuss] Tcl/TK issue with viewVC (UNCLASSIFIED)

I'm currently having problems using viewVC which depends on both python and 
Tkinter.

I was hoping anyone could tell me why I'm getting the following set of messages 
from the "viewvc/bin/standalone.py -g -r $CVSROOT" command.  I'm using version 
1.1.18 of viewVC, and 2.6.6 of python...Not sure how to find the version of 
Tkinter I'm using.  We are in the process of upgrading from RHEL 5.4 to RHEL 
6.3.  Everything works just fine on RHEL 5.4 but not RHEL 6.3.  In addition to 
the following messages, the ViewVC standalone window comes up, but always says 
"starting server" and the open browser button is never activated.

Here are the messages:

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.​6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py"​, line 1193, in _configure
    self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf))
TclError: out of stack space (infinite loop?)

I first tried getting support from the viewVC community, but were told, "Looks 
like a problem in the Tcl/TK Python bindings."  They thought I might want to 
raise my issue with the community that maintains those bindings and that maybe 
someone there might quickly recognize the problem and give me (or the viewVC 
community) immediate feedback on a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Steve
