Hi Paul,

this came in through msysGit's issue tracker, from a guy who is involved 
in the Tk project.

Comment #4 on issue 125 by patthoyts: gitk crashes when quit while reading
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=125

The simplest fix for all current versions of Tk is to apply the following patch
to
gitk which will flush all the geometry events before it begins reading the
commit
ids. This avoids the crash. A fix has now been applied to Tk 8.5 and HEAD
branches to
avoid this in the future.
