Subject: [ruby-core:53215] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8000] "require 'tk'" segfaults on 64-bit linux with Tk 8.6


Issue #8000 has been updated by nagai (Hidetoshi Nagai).


First of all, current Ruby/Tk cannot support Tcl/Tk8.6. Please see [ruby-talk:395829].
But, I don't know whether this trouble belongs to the "tailcall" problem or not.
Does the same trouble occur with Tcl/Tk8.5 ? If so, tcltklib may not follow the changes on Ruby's core.

Of course, I must fix this bug and should support Tcl/Tk8.6.
However, I don't have enough time to work on it, 
and unfortunately I have no idea to avoid the "tailcall" problem now.

Using ruby 1.9.3p392 and Tk 8.6.0 on 64-bit Arch Linux, attempting to "require 'tk'" causes a segfault.

To reproduce:
    ruby -e "require 'tk'"

The crash log is in the attached file.

Notes:
- I've heard from a Gentoo user who is having the same problem.
- On 32-bit Arch Linux, there is no problem.
