Bug Description

When the user closes the window that wish displays (e.g. types CTRL+F4 in XFCE), wish experiences a segfault. This can be reproduced either by simply running "wish", or by running a wish-based application such as gitk.

The same issue happens when running:
gdb --args wish /usr/bin/gitk -- -n 100
(or just "gitk -n 100" if not running under gdb)

The same issue repros when closing the window in the following ways:
- Clicking the close "x" icon on the window title bar
- Selecting close from the window's menu (in XFCE the button in the top-left of the window title bar)
- In gitk, selecting File -> Close
