Comment (by nad@…):

 Actually, I believe the Gestalt version check is non-fatal.

 The critical issue that causes the crash is a now faulty version check in
 Tk's macosx/tkMacOSXInit.c which results in the message:

 `Mac OS X 10.10000 or later required !`

 I have opened a `Tk` bug for this problem:
 https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=1d37c3e166.  Note that this problem
 applies to all users of Cocoa Tk (`+quartz` variant), like Python's `IDLE`
 or other `Tkinter`-based applications.  They are all totally broken.
 However, this issue does not affect the `+x11` variant of Tk.
