wish is part of tk. Assigning to maintainer of tk.

FYI: I get problems too:

$ wish -v
Application initialization failed: "-v" option requires an additional argument
% wish(7935) malloc: ***  Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x51b720; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug
$

I deliberately said "wish" because the search engine here does not allow you to search for two character names, and "tk" is a two character name (which would match "gtk" too).

[blb@…]

Is this reproducible with tk 8.5.6_1? wish just complains for me

wish -v
Application initialization failed: "-v" option requires an additional argument

No malloc() errors afterwards like Ryan.

Closing, lack of response.
