working Tcl/Tk8.2.1 & python - broken Tkinter

[Pat Ward]

I have a working Tcl/Tk8.2.1 & python1.5.2 on RH linux/alpha.

Tkinter passes:
import _tkinter
import Tkinter

fails:
Tkinter._test()
dumping core

I compiled Tcl/Tk with the Compaq beta compiler which gave me a better
build than egcs

I've tried compiling Python with both the Compaq and the egcs. Either gives
me a working _tkinter and a core dumping "test".

I believe that the Modules/Setup is correctly modified and re-made.

I'm baffled. Any ideas?
