There's no file attached. Attachments are unreliable on a list. This
should suffice:

I know on Linux, Tk 8.6 has a problem with dead keys when using an
international keyboard layout (see issue 25356 [1]). This crash could
be related to whatever causes the problem on Linux. Try running a
simple test.tcl script via wish:

text .t
pack .t

Does wish crash when you press tilde in the window?
