One thing to keep in mind is that Apple's release of OSX 10.14.6 caused
Tk 8.6.8 to stop working on many systems in an extremely obnoxious way.
Starting a Tk Application would trigger a segfault in Apple's WindowServer
which would then cause the user to be immediately logged out. That does
not happen with 8.6.10.  (Other types of applications were also affected.)

Here is one of many bug reports:
 https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/14999

Whether the crash would occur depended on which Apple hardware was used.
