[Therion] Therion 5.3.16 - Error opening th and th2 files

[Bill Gee]

One more update:

I downgraded the tkimg installation on a test machine to the previous version. 
It fixed the problem.  Definitely something in the latest tkimg package.

In Fedora-speak, the version that does not work is tkimg-1.4-19.  The version 
which DOES work is tkimg-1.4-18.

Fortunately there are no dependencies on tkimg.  It can be uninstalled and 
reinstalled without affecting anything in the rpm dependency tree.

As an interesting side effect - I found that xtherion works quite well when 
tkimg is not installed at all, with the exception that background images in 
the map editor do not load.  There is no error message - they just don't load.
