May I suggest the inclusion of Tcl/Tk 8.5.4 in the windows binary for
the upcoming beta3 ? beta2 included 8.5.3, but now the 8.5.4 bugfix
release arrived.

Also, I was bitten by a runtime error because of an uninitialized variable.
It seems that the Microsoft compiler is able to detect uninitialized
values, in debug mode this causes a dialog to appear and IDLE crashes
when opening the "Save file" dialog.

In generic/tkFileFilter.c, the line 341
    if (ostypeCount > 0 && ostypeList != NULL)
should be replaced by
    if (ostypeList != NULL && ostypeCount > 0)

The problem still exists with 8.5.4.

I don't know what this Microsoft compiler is doing but both ostypeCount
and ostypeList are properly set at Tcl_ListObjGetElements, and if that
call fails it skips to the bottom of this function you looked at.

or not ? the indentation in this tkFileFilter.c is fooling me, the
Tcl_ListObjGetElements call is done in another block which is outside
that check, so the compiler seems to be right after all. It would be
good to report this problem at tk's bug tracker
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktoolkit).
