Had the same problem.  I had to recompile the tcl source.
I've attached the patch file.

Here's my shell log:
  $gunzip -c tcl8.4.12-src.tar.gz | tar vxf -
  $cd tcl8.4.12
  $patch -p1 < ../tcl8.4.12-cygwin.patch 
  $cd cygwin/
  $chmod +x configure install*
  $./configure
  $make

This patch isn't perfect, but it works.

Hope this helps,
Martin
