Summary: IDLE crashes on OS X 10.4 when "Preferences" selected

Initial Comment:
When I select 'preferences' (on IDLE 1.2, Python 2.5)  or 'Configure IDLE' (IDLE 1.1.4, Python 2.4.4 and IDLE 1.0, Python 2.3.3), Python crashes as soon as the dialog box appears.

Terminal reports a "Segmentation fault" upon the crash.

My system is an iMac G5 with 1 GB ram running OS X v 10.4.8, Tcl/Tk 8.4.10, and seems otherwise stable.  

IDLE also appears stable until I select this option.

The Python crash log is attached.

Please, can anyone suggest what may be causing this problem?  Thank you.
