Perhaps the Tcl version? That sounds like the issue that Marc talked
about: Tk behaves differently when text is entered programmatically
(and perhaps through cut-n-paste), as compared to text entered through
the keyboard. Using cut-n-paste with Tk 8.3.1, CVS python, X11R6.3 on
Solaris 8 still gives me the UnicodeError.
