And a bit more. The Rcmdr crash happens here:
debugging in: .Tcl.objv(.Tcl.args.objv(...))
debug: structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj")
Browse[2]> objv
[[1]]
<Tcl> wm

Abort trap: 6
and I can make the same thing happen in wish, so it is Not Our Fault:
Peter-Dalgaards-iMac:BUILD pd$ /usr/local/bin/wish
% toplevel .1
.1
% wm protocol .1 WM_DELETE_WINDOW {puts hi}
/usr/local/bin/wish: line 2: 32765 Abort trap: 6 "$(dirname
