Hi Tony,

Hmmm, another intermittent SIGSEGV. That is the second report.

Is there anyone out there who can reproduce this on demand and
is willing and able to help me get a stack trace?

I do have one idea about this. Could you please try this program
on your machine:

#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, const char * argv [] )
{
printf( "%s\n", (char *) 0 );
return 0;
}

Be sure to compile it with "-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer".

tkparse likes to printf through a null pointer occasionally. If you
see "(null)" on your output, you have a printf that doesn't fall over.
If you get a segmentation fault, that would explain why your tkparse
is seg-faulting.

But it could be something else entirely.
