Thanks for the report and for the patch! The bug is fixed in SVN, but
since it doesn't affect the package build in Debian I'll upload the
fix later (on more urgent occasion).

BTW, all tcl8.? and tk8.? packages have this bug. And all of them have
a fix applied in SVN (there's no need to report bugs against them).
