It sounds like you were on the verge of fixing this problem, but it doesn't=
 look like there's been any progress since that last email (http://search.c=
pan.org/dist/Tk/ lists the latest release as from November 2008).

Is there a patch or some other workaround for this problem? Because of it, =
we are having to delay upgrading our application to Cygwin 1.7.
