In tests that I've done, it seems that the dangerous act is to
run the wish interpreter via an "@sys" symlink. It doesn't crash
every time, but if I repeat "/afs/sipb/project/tcl/wish" a few
score times, I can reliably get a crash.
On the other hand, I haven't yet gotten a crash if I use
"athrun tcl wish".
Does anyone mind if I change the exmh launch scripts to start the
wish interpreter via athrun, instead of using the symlink through
@sys ? If you need the script to stay untouched for debugging, I
could leave it alone.
