Yes, this has come up recently as an issue for several people. But
I'm not sure why it suddenly became an issue, and not long ago.
There were some murmurs in the past about needing the "fink" version
of Tcl/Tk, which may or may not be related to this problem.

I'm not sure if I set up the mailing list to accept attachments or not,
but in general, I would prefer if you send patches directly to me.
Other people can attest to the fact that patches I receive generally
end up in the distribution within hours. I usually apply patches by
hand to make sure I understand everything that is being done to the
code, and any changes that are for Mac OS, I need to check that the
patch doesn't break the code under Linux.
I don't have a Mac, so I have to depend on knowledgeable people like
you to provide certain fixes.
