[Therion] 5.3.14

[Stacho Mudrak]

Hi Bruce,

I have no idea, why your therion after compilation hangs. I can't remember
any change in 5.3.14, that could cause this. I am also using it on XP a lot
and no such problem.

May be, it is related somehow to TclTk 8.6, but without being able to
reproduce this bug, it is extremely difficult to find out, what is going
on...
