I can reproduce this. The backtrace shows the crash happens in
dotTclObjv [/src/library/tcltk/src/tcltk.c@243 ]. This looks like a
bug that was introduced by commit 78408/78409 about a month ago. I
think the problem is that this commit changes 'calloc' to 'Calloc'
without changing the corresponding 'free' to 'Free'.
This has nothing to do with the Windows build or installation. Nothing
has changed in the windows build procedure between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1.
