Summary: Text search gives bad count if called from variable trace

Initial Comment:
If Text search is called from a variable trace then the count variable is 
not be updated.

I see this with Python 2.4.3 and Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.4.11 on MacOS X 10.4.7. 
I have not tested it elsewhere.

Note that this works fine in tcl/tk so this appears to be a Tkinter issue.

To see the problem run the attached python script.

(The script also includes the equivalent tcl/tk code in its comments, so 
you can easily test the issue directly in tcl/tk if desired.)
