It appears your post and one on the vim list are related:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vimdev/message/45215
I'm not on a Windows box tonight to track this down, can anyone help
us figure out if this is in the binary or runtime?
1. Verify syntax/vim.vim is not corrupt
2. Test the binary:
:echo has("tcl")
Greg, do you have Cygwin installed?
Interesting that this just cropped up twice in two hours, these
packages have been downloaded nearly 300 times over 8 days.
Yep, I have cygwin, and yep, the dummy tcl84.dll fixed the problem.
One difference I have from the dev thread is that my gvim doesn't
hang, it just closes.
