I'm getting a malloc() error in testtcl when I run "make test":

I have been getting this error on OS X 10.3.2 ("gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)") but with no core dump regardless if I run test_tcl directly or by execing regrtest.py -unetwork (how I always run the test suite). I do have Tcl installed on my system and you can import Tkinter but I get the usual "SetFrontProcess failed,-606" error that you get on OS X unless you use the pythonw executable with Tk code.
