On my system (windows 98se) tcl83.dll also crashes after a frew scroll clicks.
Do text widgets scroll 'automatically', I mean without explicitly binding
<MouseWheel>? If so, I think the source of the problem could be that there's
some conflict between automatic and explicit binding of mousewheel events.
Just speculation of course.
