Any other ideas??I googled for "Fedora fonts" and apparently there are others who have problems too. Maybe try changing the font to something else, like Helvetica or Courier, possibly Times has a problem in your Fedora version?

I actually did peek on google and saw that. I tried Helvetica, Courier etc and same issue.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next.

Have you run the script thru strace, and see what happens when it crashes? Even better, run it thru a debugging-enabled Tk, and see what the gnu debugger outputs. That is what Slaven would need if you file a bug report.

Any help would be appreciated...
A backtrace would be helpful: create Tk with debugging support (use
perl Makefile.PL OPTIMIZE=-g #make a debugging Tk
), make sure that core dumps are written (e.g. by issuing
ulimit -c unlimited #ensure you can get core dumps
), and for the backtrace you should try:
#gdb /path/to/perl /path to core/
#start gdb telling it to run perl and
#where the core dump should go
gdb /usr/bin/perl ./core
(gdb prompt) run ./my_tk_program #run your tk program
bt # do the backtrace thru the core dump
#Regards,Slaven
If done correctly, it will tell you the exact error and line of code where
it was caused in the Tk source code.
If I were you, I would first try to upgrade to the latest Tk-804-027_500, in which many bugfixes have been applied.
I've had to patch my vanilla Tk version, because it segfaulted when run with Gtk2 programs...... that patch is included in the _500 release.
