OpenSUSE 11.2: TclError: out of stack space (infinite loop?)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./namebench.py
2. Start Benchmark

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I was expecting some pretty graphs or something.  Instead the GUI doesn't
change and the following is output to the console:

Au revoir, mes amis!
[psy@sable:~/src/namebench-1.0.2]$

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
namebench-1.0.2 on openSUSE 11.2 for x86-64

I bet this is due to a version of Tk being installed that is not thread-safe, 
though I had 
assumed that using the event_generate call would have avoided this. I'll take a 
look at it 
today.
