Starting gitk on a macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave) system fails with the error

    Error in startup script: 2020-10-25 17:16:44.568 osascript[36810:18758270]
    Error loading /Library/QuickTime/EyeTV MPEG Support.component/Contents/MacOS/EyeTV MPEG Support:

        while executing
    "exec osascript -e [format {

        invoked from within
    "if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {

        (file "./gitk" line 12265)

Ignore errors from the osascript invocation, especially because this macOS version seems to correctly place the gitk window in the foreground.
