hmm.  it looks like it's more likely to hang if the program
uses unicode strings.

    Tkinter._test() hangs about 2 times out of three

    same goes for a simple test program that passes a
    unicode string constant (containing Latin-1 chars)
    to a Label

    the same test program using a Latin-1 string (which,
    I suppose, is converted to Unicode inside Tk) hangs
    in about 1/3 of the runs.

    the same test program with a pure ASCII string
    never hangs...

confusing.
