(Having said that, a similar situation with my buildslave prompted me to spend the time fixing the bug so I didn't have to keep restarting the slave, so maybe it's a good thing after all :-))
Indeed. More generally, I'd question the point of automated testing if people try to work around serious problems rather than fixing them. And an interpreter crash in the test suite *is* a serious problem, IMO. Of course, it may turn out to be an unfixable Tcl or Apple bug, in which case working around would become more interesting.
