Subject: [ruby-core:53519] Re: [ruby-trunk - Bug #8000] "require 'tk'" segfaults on 64-bit linux with Tk 8.6

Could you test the following script?
----------------------------------------------------------
module TkCore; RUN_EVENTLOOP_ON_MAIN_THREAD = true; end
require 'tk'
Tk.mainloop
----------------------------------------------------------
If it works, a bug may exist on handling a Thread.

> Now that I've tried a few more ruby/tk scripts, I see that only a limited subset of tk works on 32-bit under Tk8.6. But in case it's still useful, I've attached a backtrace from gdb using ruby1.9.3p392/tcl8.6/tk8.6 with debug info on 64-bit.
