Not that I know much about the internals of the objc runtime, but this indicates a bug in wish and/or the objc runtime (tickled *by* the geometry state line, but not in gitk itself). Note that the corrupted autorelease pool page data:

suggests that the page was already released or something, since the three words of "should be" spell out "otua eler !esa" which is "autorelease!" with byte-swapping (the old NUXI issue but expressed in 32 bits this time).
