TK GUI crashes on Fedora 11: TclError: out of stack space (infinite loop?)
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Fedora 11 w/ patches
2. Install tkinter library
3. Run namebench
4. Click "Start Benchmark" button.
An example crash can be seen at http://pastebin.com/m4298a72b
The root cause appears to be described at http://bugs.python.org/issue3835 -
The Tcl/Tk
libraries shipped with Fedora 11 appear to be compiled without
--enable-threading. This button
is being disabled from another thread.
I'm looking for any workarounds I can do now.

- Changed state: Fixed
Fixed in revision 297
We now capture the TclError exception when modifying button state, and avoid
changing the state if problems
occur. The side effect is that the Start button is no longer disabled during a
run on affected platforms.
