Okay, this is a weird one:

I've been using TkRat for quite some time, and love it tremendously.
Recently, however, I was reconfiguring a bunch of things on my system
and TkRat suddenly stopped working. Now, whenever I start up TkRat, I
get a window titled "Error in Tcl Script" with the message:
        Error: unknown
        floating-point error, errno =
        84

Pressing the stack trace button produces a "Stack Trace for Error"
window with the message:
        unknown floating-point error, errno = 84
            while executing
        ".welcome.message.scroll set 0 0"
            (vertical scrolling command executed by text)

I also get another "Error in Tcl Script" window with the same message
as the one above. A stack trace turns up:
        unknown floating-point error, errno = 84
            while executing
        ".bgerrorTrace.scroll set 0 0"
            (vertical scrolling command executed by text)

This continues ad infinitum, because everytime TkRat tries to set up a
window with a scrollbar, it fails.

I thought it must be a Tcl/Tk problem, but I've re-installed all the
RPMS (I run RedHat Linux) and re-compiled TkRat, all to no avail. I
don't know Tcl/Tk, so looking at the source didn't do me a whole lot of
good.

Anyone out there have any ideas?

Thanks,
